DIANA GONZALEZ
Vancouver,WA
Summary
My name is Diana Gonzalez. Here's a brief description of my 21 years in the healthcare industry.
In Colombia, I started working as a caregiver in 2004, then a CNA and eventually as an RN in 2012.
In 2021, I moved to the U.S. with my husband and have been working as a caregiver in the Pacific Northwest since then.
I recently passed the NCLEX & received my nursing license in NY in 2025. I also recently became a U.S. Citizen as well.
My goal is to begin my nursing career in May of 2025, in a nursing home on Long Island, NY.
I consider myself an organized, dependable and knowledgeable Registered Nurse experienced in treating and caring for patients. I've been told I have an impeccable work ethic, and believe my work performance speaks for itself.
