George Manaves

I am interested in applying for the position of PACU RN. As a nurse, I bring with me a passion for helping others, a passion for healing as well as an extensive and diverse knowledge of science and nursing. I graduated nursing school from Purdue Northwest University, with honors, and currently have over two years of experience as a Registered Nurse and over a year of experience functioning as a Charge Nurse on my 32-bed post-surgical unit. I am passionate about fitness and health, and I want to help others achieve good health and wellness. I have a natural ability to connect with my patients and have successfully cared for even the most difficult patients on my unit. I proudly represent Trinity Health's core values every day in practice and I am always excited to learn about the latest trends and research in healthcare and learn about how to be more efficient and effective when providing care. I have a natural curiosity that challenges me to continue to learn and develop as a nurse and I am passionate about what I do. My favorite part about being a nurse is that I have the opportunity to influence each of my patients in a positive way that will make me unforgettable. I believe that I would be a great fit for this position, and I look forward to hearing back from you.
