Summary
During my time as a Emergency Room Technician I was able to obtain a plethora of knowledge. I was fortunate to be surrounded by staff members who were knowledgeable and enjoyed teaching. This environment made me familiar with being efficient in patient care. It also taught me the basics of patient care like communicating, listening to the patient and overall patient centered care. With this knowledge and attending Louisiana Tech University's Registered Nurse program I have become more confidence in becoming a part of patient care.
