Summary

I am a reliable and hard-working LPN with 2 years of experience in outpatient and a background as a long-term care nurse's aide and personal caregiver. My experience in acute care and long-term care over the past 8 years has helped me gain a variety of skills I am wanting to expand through working PRN for your facility as I renew my focus on obtaining prerequisite courses for a registered nurse program.
