Summary
My short-term career objective is to secure a Summer Nurse Externship (SNE) in an ICU, where I can gain hands-on experience in critical care. In the long term, I aim to work as a nurse in the Cardiac ICU or the Emergency Department, eventually transitioning into a flight nurse role. I aspire to become a nurse who embodies qualities such as compassion, strong clinical knowledge, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I aim to be a proactive communicator, a patient advocate, and a team player who fosters a supportive environment for both patients and colleagues. Additionally, I have a personal goal of becoming a pilot, combining my passion for healthcare and aviation to serve patients in emergency and transport settings.
