Summary
I have been working as an active LPN since 2004 but endded my nursing career around 2017 due to high stress and personal issues. My plan is to have them reissued sometime in the next few months though because patient care is my passion. I am very friendly, compassionate and reliable. You're company would benefit greatly from having me on your team.
