Summary
Nursing student graduating September 2026 with a 3.2 GPA and hands-on clinical experience across medical-surgical, pediatric, and specialty units. Currently working as a Nurse Extern at a hospital setting where I float across multiple departments and support patient care through vital signs, assistance with ADLs, documentation, and collaboration with the interdisciplinary team. Through both clinical rotations and real-world experience, I have developed strong foundational nursing skills and adaptability in fast-paced environments. I am seeking a Nurse Residency position with a strong interest in NICU and critical care nursing, where I can continue building my skills in high-acuity patient care.
