Lack of work

Productive Environment to work at.
Assistant in Nursing (Current Employee) – Milton QLD – 3 May 2018
Workpac Health Care gives me an opportunity to improve my skills and abilities in providing safe and quality care for the clients. The staff is accommodating whenever I have concerns about my schedule at work. The company also look after my welfare as their staff. I am working as an Agency AIN and with every facility that I have to work at , Workpac staff is there to guide me and reassure me especially when I am anxious doing a shift to a new environment. I just learned to be proactive and always ask if there is something that I do not know in order for me to deliver safe and effective care.
