Summary
Dedicated and well qualified LPN, who has worked in Skilled Rehab, home care and nursing home facilities who can offer my skills in the adult, geriatric, Dementia, and Alzheimer fields. Professionalism is an important quality in most fields, but it’s among the most essential skills needed to be a nurse. That’s because when you work with new patients each day, you’ll find yourself in situations that are uncomfortable or unfamiliar. In all instances, you must remain a professional and respect your patients and their loved ones.
