Summary
I am a direct care professional skilled in assisting patients to meet medical and emotional needs. As a registered nurse of the last 2 years, I excell in time management, teamwork collaboration with other staff members, and building a trusting relationship with my patients. I've had a passion for nursing and caring for people for many years now and am devoted to providing companionship and attentive, safe care to my current or future patients.
I thoroughly enjoyed my clinical rotation in Labor and Delivery through nursing school, and quickly developed a passion for learning the science and skills of this specialized field. I consider it an honor being welcomed to participate, care for and support families during such an incredible time in their life, however that may look.
