Summary
With the current status of the healthcare system, the goal is to utilize knowledge gained from previous years working in hospice care and also working outside of healthcare. By challenging myself and transitioning those skills to what I'm passionate about. While growing in knowledge by continuing education, providing care through evidence based practice and compassion.
