Summary
As an experienced nurse currently working in endoscopy, I have developed a strong foundation in patient care, procedural assistance, and post-procedure monitoring, which has deepened my passion for delivering high-quality care in the surgical environment. I am now eager to expand my expertise by transitioning into preoperative (pre-op) and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) services. I am confident that my skills in patient assessment, communication, and teamwork will enable me to effectively contribute to these areas, while also broadening my clinical knowledge and enhancing my ability to support patients through the entire surgical process.
