While employed at Anderson Hospital, I worked in multiple different areas.

I started out on 4 West, a med-surg floor, while still in nursing school, and continued there after I obtained my RN license.

From there, I transferred to surgery and circulated in the OR.

My last year at Anderson Hospital was spent working in the ICU.
