Summary
I have worked as a Registered Nurse for 2+ years with experience in postpartum and neonate care, as well as my current position as a Dialysis Registered Nurse. Throughout my experience I have had the opportunity for leadership as a charge nurse, assisting in educating and precepting new RNs, and providing care for patients. I started my healthcare profession as a Cerified Nursing Assistant where I gained 5 years of hands on patient care and knowledge. As a new graduate nurse I completed a nurse residency program where I was able to receive extra education and support while beginning my nursing career.
