Supporting Statement

Currently, I work permanently, as a deputy sister or charge nurse in the chemotherapy suite with the United Lincolnshire Hospital Trust. My role involves assessing patients prior to receiving chemotherapy to establish fitness and safety to receive chemotherapy to rule out, side effects and toxicity of chemotherapy and managing the side effects.

The role also allows me to help nurses to develop clinical and managerial skills pertaining to the various treatments used in chemotherapy.

I also work closely with doctor and allied health members to achieve the best care for patients.

It also involves daily skills of cannulating, assessing porthacaths and PICC lines, administering chemotherapy and educating patients about their care.

I also work part time in the accident and emergency department at Lincoln county hospital. I have done this role since 2009, mainly working in the Accident and emergency department and the occupational health department when needed.

As mentioned, I have experience in working as an occupational health nurse. This role comprises of carrying out risk assessments about various jobs and the potential for hazard, advising employers and employees about how to manage and promote their health.

I have instrumental in setting up the occupational health departments in Lincoln.

Several years ago, I worked as an RN in a forty bed, extremely busy emergency room in Virginia USA. My role involves, triaging, assessing, and initiating planned care for patients. I take pride in ensuring my patients are comfortable, informed of their care, and satisfied with their care.

I also worked as an occupational health nurse in the same hospital providing health services to the police, FBI, fire fighters and paramedics to mention a few. My role involved health surveillance, absence management, drug and alcohol screening phlebotomy and vaccinations.

I also collect samples, do bedside tests and prepare patients for cardiac, radiological, renal and neurological investigations and treatments.

I have good communication skills which come in handy when doing assessments, consultations, discharging patients or meeting with clients.

I believe I can work well under pressure in a rapidly changing environment by virtue of my past experiences. I enjoy educating patients and teaching colleagues. I believe that peer review is essential for continuous delivery of high quality care and meeting the needs of patients. As an ER and OHN I have discovered that I am required to provide more health education which I enjoy doing.

I am an enthusiastic nurse who strives hard to maintain and promote high standards of care. I believe that my calm and approachable manner helps me in communicating what I expect of colleagues when I am leading a team, and providing guidance and support as needed in the delivery of care.
