Nikita Pietersen

I am a carer dedicated to improving patient safety, dignity, and holistic care across a variety of healthcare settings. A carer with a solid foundation in clinical nursing practice and patient-centered care. Strong assessment, communication, and teamwork abilities developed through work experience training. I am anticipating contributing to a healthcare team while further developing my professional nursing skills and providing safe, ethical, and compassionate care.
