Work history

Nurse intern

Beaumont Hospital
Dublin, Leinster
01.2025 - Current

I obtained practical exposure in a variety of clinical settings during my nursing internship, such as Rheumatology units and surgical wards. In order to provide patient-centered care, hone clinical abilities, and assist patients with both acute and chronic medical issues, I collaborated closely with multidisciplinary teams. I am advancing my understanding of neurological care and long-term condition management during my last placement in a specialized epilepsy unit.

Important experience consists of:


-Helping in surgical units with pre- and post-operative care
-Assisting rheumatology patients with autoimmune and musculoskeletal disorders
-Studying care planning and seizure control in specialized epilepsy unit
-Vital sign monitoring, supervised medication administration, and care documentation
-Effectively interacting with healthcare teams, families, and patients

My clinical judgment, flexibility, and compassion have all been enhanced by this varied experience, and I can not wait to apply these traits in a newly certified nursing position.
