What makes me a desirable RN to hire?

  • I am a nurse that shows up to work every week wanting and willing to make a difference for someone, in every situation I am a part of. Being a RN, not every situation is 'good', and unfortunately not all patients get better and recover in the ways we wish they could. Despite these situations I give my best to still provide something to someone. Even if its as much as a person to hear their feelings, a hug in the toughest of times, or just as simple as telling someone that you hear them and understand them. No matter what the shift brings, I will bring my best to patients and my coworkers.
