Summary

My experience in both childcare and serving has shaped me into the nurse I aspire to be. As a childcare provider, I have built a foundation of patience, empathy, time management, conflict resolution, effective communication, and maintaining constant observation at all times. As a server, I have built upon this foundation by enhancing my skills in interpersonal communication, active listening, maintaining a personal and professional demeanor, multitasking in a high-volume environment, attention to detail, being a fast learner with adaptability, and having the ability to be open to continuous learning. I can utilize these skills as I grow in nursing school to remain humble and to deliver patient-centered care. I am eager to help others, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to do so.
