Summary
Compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse with a strong background in emergency care and current experience as a Cardiac Clinic Nurse. I am committed to providing patient-centered, empathetic care and creating a supportive environment for individuals managing acute and chronic cardiac conditions. I value building trust with patients, listening to their concerns, and guiding them through their health journey with patience, clarity, and respect. Known for staying calm under pressure, I am equally passionate about continuous learning and expanding my clinical skills. I am seeking a structured, team-oriented setting part-time where compassionate care, collaboration, and professional growth are truly prioritized.
