Summary
Nursing has always been a passion of mine. I have achieved exceptional experience by working in the healthcare field prior to entering into a nursing program. My interest in nursing is related to personal hard life experiences that I had encountered. I have worked as a certified nurse assistant as well as a medical assistant. I was able to administer injections, perform EKG's, ear washes, and take vital signs. Both of these roles I have also been able to strengthen my communication skills. I have been able to utilize therapeutic communication.
