I'm looking for my niche in nursing, I am compassionate and dedicated with strong commitment to patient care and well-being. Possessing foundational knowledge in medical procedures and patient care, with skills in assessing emergent patient situations and administering medications. I'm aiming to make significant impact on patient outcomes through effective care and empathy no matter what specialty of nursing I'm in. In the fall I plan to start my BSN to further my education and apply it to the way I care for my patients.
