Summary
Dedicated nursing student currently working towards ADN from NWCC in December 2024 seeking a full-time position where I can demonstrate and build proficiency in patient care, assessments, medication administration and health education. I am excited to transition from Physical Therapy to Nursing to have a more direct, impactful, hands-on approach to the patient's overall care. My compassionate and caring attitude make me a valuable advocate for patients and their families.
