Summary
I graduated from Keuka College AGP-NP program maintaining a 3.7 GPA. The combination of instructional theory, 500 hours in clinical experience and 40 hours in simulation gives me a solid foundation to assess, evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients in a competent and safe manner. I provide quality care that is supported by evidence-based practice. My goal is to obtain a rewarding position as a highly productive nurse practitioner in an organization that shares my values and ethics providing patient care.
