Summary

Experienced LPN, well-versed in performing triage, collecting intake information and caring for wounds. Good communicator with organized nature and strong prioritization and multitasking skills. Sound judgment, caring nature and superior work ethic. I am a self starter who has excelled at time management.

I have worked in Pediatric home health care for the last 5 years. With my client's improving health condition, I will no longer be needed in his home. I am looking to branch off into a remote position to grow my knowledge of all aspects of nursing and find my 30yr fit.
