Summary
Multi-talented Dental Assistant with 2 years of expertise assisting with all areas of dental treatment looking to combine these skills and my previous Certified Nursing Assistant skills to give patients an amazing dental experience. As a CNA I offered skills in vital monitoring, mobility support, and records management. Talented at closely monitoring patients during procedures to quickly address issues with pain or discomfort. I proactively access and adapt to changing priorities and demanding workloads. I am a reliable candidate ready to take on a position using problem-solving, task prioritization skills to help the team succeed and stay on top of demands in a fast-paced environment. I also maintain an organized, clean and safe work area with diligent attention to important details.
