Summary
I am a dedicated twenty-seven year experienced Mastered prepared certified Med/Surg Nurse. I have proven leadership skills involving managing, developing, organizing, and motivating teams to achieve their objectives. I am a flexible, self-motivated, compassionate and professional nurse; with a commitment to provide quality nursing care to patients and positive leadership to my team. There’s a reason why management comes to me when they have a project and a reason staff comes to me with questions. I love to mentor, educate, work on teams to find solutions and I take pride in giving my patients top quality care. I have worked the last 2.5 years on a behavioural unit and found that this is my new passion. I feel I would make a positive addition your Behavioral Unit and I’m looking forward to a new experience.
