Summary
I have worked in the healthcare setting for two years and my compassion for caring for patients grows more and more as each day goes by. I have only had a job in LTC but with clinical experience from Ridgeviews LPN program, I wish to experience more healthcare settings. I had various clinical experiences including Pediatric offices, home healthcare, Emergency rooms, psychiatric facilities, provider offices, Medical-surgical nursing, and Intensive care units.
