Summary
Received CNA certification in 2001 at a long term care facility. By 2003 I graduated a LPN vocational program and continued to worked in long term care as well as registry and home health. In 2015 I decided to improve my skills and education and entered a LPN to RN bridge program at the University of Phoenix. In 2019 I graduated with a BSN and obtained RN licensure shortly after. After graduation I remained in a subacute/long term facility in Arizona until I decided to move to North Dakota and took a position as a medical/surgical nurse at Trinity Hospital. During this time the Covid pandemic was peaking and I left the hospital for my current position in January of 2021.
