Kristen Amicone
North Fort Myers,FL
Summary
I have many years experience in the Renal Industry including Patient Care and Biomedical knowledge. My degree is in Education, but teaching in a classroom was not what I envisioned it would be. I decided to go back into dialysis which is where I am most skilled.
I am friendly, outgoing, funny and very caring. I miss my dialysis patients and I am anxious to continue my career in the Renal field.
My husband and I started a construction business and have dome well for many years, however due to his age and a back injury, we are unable to do this physical work at this time.
My goal is to personally and professionally changes myself. I am hard working, dependable and knowledgeable.
