Summary

I am an aspiring RN that has worked in a large variety of healthcare settings to achieve a broad understanding of the complementary roles that support an RN. I have used all of my experience, not just nursing, to assist me in my practice. I will be continuing my education at Texas Woman’s University to achieve a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing to care for the sick neonates in a NICU.
