Summary
I am a hard working nurse who prioritizes patient safety and following procedure and rules to ensure best possible outcome for patients and the facility I work for. I have taken roles in management in my career so far and also worked as a nurse side by side with patients on the floor. I believe I can adapt to almost any environment given the chance, and very quick to learn.
