Summary
Hello! Thank you for reviewing my resume. I have been a nurse for 30 years and have a variety of experience. Most of my career has been pediatrics and case management. My most recent experience has been Home Health Case Management, which is my love, but I am open and excited for new opportunities. My current employer has had a recent decrease in census and unfortunately has had to cut their employees hours. I am the most recently hired RN and my hours have been cut to one day a week. In my current role I traveled 90 miles two days a week so I am willing to commute for the right job. My supervisor would be happy to give you a recommendation. I am looking to start a new position ASAP. I would love to have an opportunity to interview with your company discuss if I would be a good fit for your company..
