This candidate is a dedicated and empathetic Registered Nurse with over five years of experience across aged care, community healthcare, and paediatric nursing. She has worked in both hospital and community settings in India and New Zealand, demonstrating a strong commitment to patient-centred care, cultural adaptability, and team leadership.

Her clinical experience includes managing patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s, alongside providing high-quality palliative care for terminally ill patients. She has worked with Fortis Hospital in India, HBH Senior Living in New Zealand, and as a Community Health Officer for the Punjab government. She brings a strong understanding of patient support across the full spectrum of daily living, from medication administration and hygiene support to complex care planning and emotional support for families.

She demonstrated strong decision-making under pressure, including managing adverse medication reactions and addressing worsening cognitive conditions with appropriate clinical and communication strategies. She has also advocated for patient wellbeing, including communicating sensitive information to families and ensuring prompt clinical responses.

In a leadership capacity, she has successfully led teams of up to eight healthcare professionals, overseeing workloads, mentoring junior staff, and implementing effective rostering strategies to improve patient outcomes. She is highly experienced in interdisciplinary collaboration, regularly working alongside doctors, physiotherapists, and paramedics to deliver coordinated care.

The candidate holds a Palliative Care Certificate (2020) and is well-practiced in infection control, emergency response, trauma care, and high-risk medication management. She is skilled at navigating language and cultural barriers using visual aids and simplified communication methods to ensure clarity and comfort for patients and families.

Her transition to New Zealand showcased her adaptability, quickly mastering electronic documentation systems, aged care regulations, and patient safety protocols. She has since relocated to Australia and is supported by a friend in Albury, providing her with a strong social foundation as she integrates into a new community.

Personable, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about caring for the elderly, she presents as a warm and highly competent nurse who is eager to contribute meaningfully to a team-based, values-driven healthcare environment.
