Summary
I come from a working middle class family of educators. This foundation has guided me and has always been the concepts of God, family, and education.
As well as being a public servant for the community, combining the love for the sciences with the gift of empathy has been the best way for me to serve. As a detail-oriented and dedicated novice nurse, I am willing to grow and learn with the Bon Secours family of Mary Immaculate Hospital. I have experience with working with the medical staff of both the medical surgical and telemetry units of this institution during my clinicals as a nursing student.
I was a caring and compassionate Student Nurse well-versed in anatomy and physiology, nursing fundamentals and medical terminology. I responded to emergencies with grace and calm mentality. I also demonstrated success in delivering superior care to multiple patients.
