I have worked as a nurse for many years, ranging from Med Surg at AVH, Office Nurse here at Weeks, AVH, and LRH, Nursing Home, Home Health and Hospice, and at Hematology/Oncology at Weeks. Much emphasis has been placed on building trusting relationships with patients and their families, along with my colleagues. Along with that, I am dedicated to everything my career encompasses, such as care, compassion, mentoring, and continually trying to better myself and those around me. That has been the mainstay of my career, and it has served me well. My previous 12 year Hematology/Oncology experience coupled with the knowledge and familiarity of the unit, staff and providers at Weeks will be an asset.
Please consider me for the job.
