Jacki - Registered nurse

Hi, my name is Jacki,

I’ve been a Registered Nurse for 11 years and I have loved all the highs and lows that come with it.

I have previously worked in Orthopaedics and Trauma both on the ward and in the Operating Room at one of the biggest trauma hospitals in the state.

Currently, I work as a Neonatal ICU nurse in a major hospital. I help to support very premature babies and unwell new-borns and their families on the ICU journey.

I started working at Bargo Doctors as I want to be near to home while my kids start their schooling journey and to help expand my knowledge and help support my local community while working with Drs that I respect in a small friendly GP clinic.

I have a passion for helping people to improve their health through supporting them to take control of their health and providing them with the I formation they need to make the best decisions for themselves.

I love all things wounds, rehabilitation and woman’s and children’s health.

My daughter and son say that I am a loving and kind person who gives amazing cuddles.

I can’t wait to say hi to you all and you can’t miss my colourful scrunchies and shoes that I love wearing to work!
