Brooke Freeman
Summary
I’m seeking a position in an environment where I can use my knowledge, skills, and experience as a PACU RN. I’m a hard worker, good at multi-tasking, critical thinking, work well with others, and my passion is patient care. In 2020 I earned my associates degree in applied science and nursing at Tulsa Community College. I started my nursing career in cardiac med-surg. I now work as a PACU nurse and nurse circulator. At the end of 2023 through the beginning of 2024 I did a PACU travel nursing assignment. Before becoming an RN I was a Medical Aesthetician, Medical Assistant, Nurse Technician, and Nurse Extern. My passion is to care for, comfort, help guide, and dedicate myself to the lives of patients. I’m always seeking to grow as a nurse and further my education. I’ve started an online RN-BSN program in January. I’m currently studying to become a Certified Post Anesthesia Nurse and my goal is to take the CPAN exam in 6 months. I enjoy volunteering in my community and giving back in ways I’m able to.
