Summary
I am a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I worked hard for four and a half years toward my end goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. I am seeking an opportunity to begin my career, and I am capable of hard work and strive to learn! I want to provide the best possible care to my patients and family members. Nursing has always been my passion of mine since a young age. Being able to work with a team of healthcare workers to provide the best possible care to individuals is incredible. Becoming a CNA and working in the nursing home setting for many years allowed me to experience hands-on care. From that experience, I was able to become a Nurse Fellow once I started nursing school. That has widened my horizons, and I have gained new knowledge in the hospital setting. I am ready to take on this path and cannot wait to assist the patients and their families.
