Summary
I am a driven and dedicated Student Vocational Nurse, currently finishing my program at Tyler County Hospital School of Vocational Nursing. My hands-on experience caring for people with different backgrounds and needs has helped me become skilled in giving medications, taking vital signs, and providing daily support all under supervision. I’m known for being calm when things get stressful, paying close attention to details, and always keeping patients at the center of my care. I’m eager to join a respected healthcare organization as a Graduate Vocational Nurse or Licensed Vocational Nurse, where I can keep growing, learn new clinical skills, and make a positive difference for patients.
