Summary
I am an experienced healthcare employee preparing to take my NCLEX-PN in early October after finishing my leadership clinical rotation. After a many hours of rigorous study and clinical experience at Grand Rapids Community College’s LPN program, I am prepared to offer excellent patient care to diverse patient populations. My interdisciplinary experience includes 21 months as a Patient Care Assistant at Trinity Health hospital on the Orthopoedic/Med-surg floor as well as two years as an Applied Behavior Analysis behavior technician with individuals with autism ranging in ages 5 to 20 years old. In my work, I have found it an immense honor to get to love people whom the rest of the world might not be exposed to and am looking forward to continue doing so as a professional. I hope you will find my motivation, work ethic, experience, and attitude beneficial to your team.
