Summary
Aside from the first job I worked the medical field faithfully has held my attention whole time of work. No doubt a passion and where I'll stay. While admittedly I have been completely undecided on multiple options to peruse. I have absolutely narrowed it down to psychiatric nurse or flight nurse. I love the brain and trying to find out why the mind does the things it does. I also have a strong desire for trauma that is why I adore working in the ER. When I devote myself to something I give it literally everything I possibly can. There is no limit. There is not a limit to the things I consider too complicated or difficult to achieve and the hardest person to impress in my life , is myself. I love people and helping people feel better. Just because i was dealt an extremely life altering card at a young age , it will never set me back from taking what is mine in my perspective. I am not against any task and i am obsessed with new education. I would love the consideration to prove myself to you and get to grow on a team like this one! I so hope to hear from you soon! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon!!!
