Summary

I am a personable and compassionate individual with a strong foundation in patient care and healthcare principles. I possess a solid understanding of medical terminology and basic nursing procedures, along with proficiency in patient assessment and documentation.


As a student nurse I developed strong communication and patient care skills in various clinical healthcare environments.

I've demonstrated effective teamwork and adaptability, ensuring positive patient interactions and quality individual care. I am dedicated to managing core responsibilities and providing high-quality care and positively impacting patient outcomes. I am ready to bring these skills to a new professional career level.
