Summary
I have maintained a professional career in the medical field for 30 years, almost 20 of them in nursing of pediatrics and adult patients. Over the course of those years, I have acquired many useful skills such as communication, time management, the ability to work under pressure in a fast paced environment, can diffuse high anxiety situations, and the adaptivity to change course as needed. I work well independently and on a team to complete tasks and solve problems. I am a friendly, hardworking, dependable, and punctual employee.
