This candidate is a warm, articulate, and highly capable Registered Nurse with over five years of diverse clinical experience across psychiatric, medical-surgical, and aged care nursing. She came across as personable and confident during her behavioural-based interview, communicating clearly and with genuine passion for patient care.

Her nursing background spans government hospitals in Bahrain, India, and most recently, the New Zealand aged care system through completion of the CAP program. She brings hands-on experience working with dementia, psychogeriatric, and acutely agitated patients, showcasing both clinical skill and a high degree of empathy.

In her psychiatric nursing roles, she has managed medication administration, crisis intervention, and family education with confidence. She provided specific examples of de-escalating aggression from geriatric patients within minutes, and offering emotional support to families navigating psychiatric emergencies and loss.

In aged care, she adapted rapidly to local protocols such as Medimap and QR-based documentation systems. She has worked with a variety of mobility aids and taken responsibility for delegating tasks, supervising junior nurses, and leading shifts. Her structured, methodical approach—such as using whiteboard tracking systems—ensures efficient management even under high-pressure conditions, including shifts where she was responsible for over 50 patients.

She is practiced in interdisciplinary collaboration, having worked with surgical, emergency, and mental health teams across multicultural settings. She’s unafraid to speak up for patient rights, including reporting misconduct and advocating for improved care standards.

Her experience also includes educating patients and families on post-op care, wound management, and medication plans. She has overcome language barriers using visual aids and translation tools and is confident addressing complex, emotionally charged situations with professionalism and care.

With a proven ability to thrive across multiple health systems and clinical settings, she brings strong leadership potential, empathy, and the resilience to handle high-stakes patient care—particularly within aged and mental health services.
