Summary
I have been a nurse for 6 years and worked a couple of years as a CNA before becoming a nurse. I am looking to continue my journey in nursing gaining more experience through all that the nursing field has to offer. I love getting to meet new people and be able to help them by making a difference. I am a very caring and compassionate nurse with a very positive attitude. I am a team player and love to learn new things. I treat my patients as if they were my own family which my patients appreciate and makes my job all the more rewarding to make those connections. I am looking forward to finding my next dream team and continue my journey providing compassionate care to those in need and excited to learn about new opportunities along the way.
