Summary

I have been a nurse since 2006 as a LPN, went back to school to get my RN to become a L&D nurse. I fulfilled that dream in May 2020 and still going strong. I love what I do and I love that I get to share in my patients happiest or saddest moments. I am a team player. I plan to get my cerification for OB-RN soon. I am hoping to experience new things, atmosphere, and build my career.
