Curriculum Vitae

I am 20 years old a former student of Blacktown girls high school. I am proficient in English as my first language. I am also able to speak Arabic language. My aim in the nursing career is to be very objective with the specialty in practicing nursing. I am also aiming at developing a very strong psychiatric evaluation and treatment of patients through a series of well-planned skills. Recently I have just sharpened the skills after being an intern at the Australian department of aged care. My other objective in the nursing career is to be reliable and ethical while providing health care with the ability to calm down and intervene in incidences of crisis. I am also aiming at ensuring that I can facilitate peer educational seminars through the collaboration of other multidisciplinary teams in the aged care institutions. The other objective is to prove my abilities in building up a positive relationship with my patients considering that most of them are usually very old, their family members, and other medical physicians not forgetting the other physicians. Amongst some of my key accomplishment is the ability to be selected amongst the seven nurses who were expected to be admitted for the internship at the Australian department of aged care.

Continuing Professionals Development

Nursing has always been my dream career. I have always wished to work hard and promote my educational levels in this career. This year alone in Australia there have been over 250 meetings and workshops on nursing and midwifery. However, due to insufficient time I have squeezed and attended some of them. In February 2016 I attended the APSHO in Washington DC. The theme was to improve the cancer suffering patients by providing them with quality care and supporting critical issues in education. In April this year I also managed to attend the Active Lives seminar in Perth City Australia. The theme was increasing involvement in diseases brought by sedentary lifestyles and lack of proper physical activities. I am also planning to attend another workshop this November. The theme of the workshop is unite to improve patient outcomes and decreasing adverse events. Most of these trainings have improved my orientation in nursing. The trainings and workshops have also challenged my career and hence the need to pursue further education. Besides that I have also attended some of the internal training offered at the health facilities that I have been attached. That has also improved patient care services and relationship.

Gibbs Cycle

In my career I had not met a very rude patient like that one I met that day. She was an old lady who was suffering from dementia. She would not walk properly and so she was subjected to be under a wheelchair whenever she was required to move around. However, she refused totally to be under the wheelchair and insisted on walking by herself. In two incidences she slipped and fell. Fortunately she was not injured. I approached her and talked to her regarding the issue. I was able to connect with her emotionally and she revealed that she did not want to look weak before her family and that is why she insisted always to walk without any assistance. My evaluation of the issue reminded me of ethical dilemma faced by nurses while practicing. What if the patient decides to sue the hospital for negligence of care if she falls and injures herself? That led me to a conclusion and I decided to make it mandatory for the patient to be under complete care whenever she wanted to move around. That also reminded me of the ethics and principles of nursing while at work.
