Summary

I am a committed hardworking new nurse graduate looking to gain first year clinical experience in a medical surgical setting. I am motivated to provide compassionate care and the highest standard of patient care to hopefully make a difference in someone's life. I would like to build my knowledge within my first year and possibly shift my job interest into the women's health field or pediatrics. I am committed to learning and gaining as much knowledge as I possibly can.
