years of professional experience
With over 4 years of practical experience in rehabilitation, I am committed to providing patient-centered nursing care. I pride myself on building trusting relationships with patients and their families while meeting clinical needs with accuracy and empathy, and I strive to support teamwork among colleagues. I was honored as ‘Best Staff Member of the Year’ by colleagues in 2024 for outstanding teamwork and dedication. I have experience in patient head-to-toe assessments, skilled nursing care, and medication management, with a strong drive for continuous learning and improving patient-centered care outcomes. Fluent in Korean, I am currently advancing my nursing qualifications through the LPN-to-BSN program. I am committed to growing my skills and ethics and making a meaningful impact in all my roles.
