Summary
Recent graduate LPN with a desire to work in a medical setting while utilizing my skills I have learned in school. With my recent experience in a family practice clinic and my past 22 years experience as a teacher, my customer service, communication skills, multitasking abilities, all while using compassion and sound judgment make me an excellent candidate for any role. I desire to gain more valuable skills and to put my current skills to work in a new and challenging environment.
