Summary
I am a compassionate and dedicated registered nurse who is nearing completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), seeking to apply advanced clinical knowledge and evidence-based practices in hospice care. Committed to providing holistic, patient-centered end-of-life care that supports dignity, comfort, and family involvement.
