Seeking
psychiatric nurse, I have recently completed over 700 hundred hours of clinical experience at Saint Anthony's College of Nursing and graduate 12/15/23. Nursing school was both challenging and rewarding for me and I am excited to implement all I have learned in an environment where I will continue to grow in the field I chose years ago! I have obtained time management skills throughout my time as a nursing student as well as sharpened my critical thinking skills in a variety of different medical situations. I am most proud of my ability to provide the utmost care to patients through my clinical experiences. I am eager to start my new journey as a mental health nurse with Mercy Health.
