CANDACE NEELY

Hernando,MS

Summary

I'm a proficient Registered Nurse with 10 years of experience in Med-surg, Telemetry, PCU stepdown, oncology, ambulatory care, long-term acute care, and care coordination. I'm looking for a committed, transparent, and honest company that I can advance in. I'm looking forward to working with a company that share the same core values and compassions in advocating for patients that consist of empathy, sympathy, patience, honesty, and love.
