Summary
New Graduate expected May 2024, BSN. Through clinical experiences in school and working in a pediatric clinic, I have gained nursing, communication, and collaboration skills working with both children and adult populations. Through these experiences I have found a passion in critical care, women's health, and neonatology, and would like to further my career in the nursing profession in these fields. I am a quick learner, and enjoy fast-paced environments with new challenges. I also work well in the multidisciplinary healthcare team and ensure proper time-management and organization.
