Work History Experience

Throughout my time at Laurel Ridge I went from having a PRN LVN position on the units to being promoted to Admissions LVN full-time within two months. On top of my full time position I still occasionally work extra shifts on the units. My hard work and dedication was recognized and rewarded by receiving a raise within 4 months in admissions.
