Summary
I have been a CNA for close to eight years. I spent two and a half years working on a MedSurg unit at Milford Regional Medical Center in Milford, Massachusetts. I recently transferred to a Medical Oncology Unit within Milford Regional Medical Center this past January to broaden my experience. I have been accepted into the ADN program at Northern Maine Community College for the 2024 Fall semester. My family and I bought a house in Woodland and will be moving there full time in June. I am a hard worker who always completes any tasks that need to be done in addition to spending additional time with those patients who just need someone to talk to. I work well under pressure, I am great with time management, and communication with my coworkers. I am looking forward to gaining more experience in a new setting.
