Summary
Compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse with experience in delivering patient-focused care and maintaining a safe and efficient healthcare environment. Skilled in monitoring patient conditions, administering medications, and collaborating with healthcare teams to promote patient well-being. Demonstrated ability to improve processes in fast-paced settings, leading to enhanced patient satisfaction and workflow efficiency.
The gap in my work experience as a Licensed Practical Nurse is due to my mother having several health issues which caused her to be home bound an unable to care of herself. I felt it was best to provide 24/7 care for her myself for the remainder of her life.
