Summary
I am a compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse for 15 years. I am reliable, punctual, hardworking, organized and can adapt to change easily. I am a mother of 5. I have held volunteer positions in the community as a girl scout leader and a soccer coach for Matic Sports club. I also volunteer frequently at Nathaniel Woodhull elementary school. I am extremely passionate about nursing and the care that my patients receive. I am looking to obtain employment in a teaching environment to help educate young adults who want to enter into the healthcare field. It is important to me to teach the students that entering into healthcare is an important role and requires compassion and caring.
