Summary

Experience in heavy industry working 10-12 hour days following safety protocols, reading blue prints and working with teams or alone to complete tasks in a timely manner. This experience I plan to translate into the nursing field by following safety protocols for clinical skills to aid in patient safety, health and advocacy according to healthcare plan. These skills paired with professional communication, the highest priority is administering prescribed care to patients in need for professional medical care.
