Summary

I have been in the medical field since I was 16 years old when I received my CNA license through vocational school as a Junior in high school. I love taking care of people and helping in anyway that I am able to. I have good communication skills, I love being able to listen and try and make situations better. Building a trusting relationship is very important to me as a nurse. I hope to continue doing my best in my nursing career and help as many people as I can.
