Summary
Obtain a position as an RN with The Workers’ Compensation Board. I would like to enhance my knowledge base, apply my skills and previous experience to this position.
I am a team player but can also work very well independently. I am very familiar with looking up regulations and applying them to determine if there is compliance or not.
In my current position as well as previous positions, I have had to draft letters to send to facilities and follow up with facilities as needed.
I look forward to possibly joining your team!
