My senior year of high school, I completed an EMT-BASIC Course. I obtained my CPR certification and learned basic life support skills. After the completion of this course, I worked at AMG Specialty Hospital as a Patient Care Technician. During my short time, as a PCT, I learned valuable skills on proper bedside manner and relating to patients. Working at AMG Specialty Hospital provided me with the opportunity to shadow nurses and confirm my desire to pursue a career in nursing. I am currently working at a remodeling company where I have learned to better communicate with clients, install laminate flooring, and work in carpentry.
