Summary
With 9 years of training in a bachelor's degree in nutrition and experience in hospital where I worked with critically ill patients and provided nutritional support according to the individual needs of each patient, and type of diet requested by the physician (including oral, enteral, and parenteral nutrition). I am currently a nursing student in the last semester of my BSN, recognized for my high productivity and efficient completion of tasks with patient care techniques. I have specialized skills in patient care, medical terminology, and emergency response. I excel in communication, empathy, and teamwork to enhance patient experiences and support healthcare teams. I am looking forward to contributing even more to the healthcare field in patient care, being part of a multidisciplinary team, and making a positive impact in my new job opportunity.
