Summary
I am an experienced and well-qualified Nurse Manager/LPN dedicated to compassionate and quality patient care. I have over 15 years of experience in clinical pediatric care and over 5 years of experience in nurse management in Pediatrics. Over the years, I took on more and more responsibility as needed in all aspects of the business to ensure that it was running smoothly and efficiently. I possess a strong work ethic and feel that dependability is a key factor in keeping a team atmosphere and giving patients and their families the care they deserve.
