Summary

Highly vigilant, registered nursing looking to work in the adinistrative setting. I have a proven history of advocating for patient needs and fostering top-quality care under registered nursing supervision while offering help to employees other than the nurses I was assigned to. I've demonstrated the ability to accurately perform patient assessments, treatment delivery, and carry out delegated tasks. My past military history and experience in the clinical setting as a student has enabled me to become a true asset on any nursing team.
