Summary
I graduated nursing in December 2023 as a Registered Nurse (RN) that is always eager to get to work and learn something new every day. One trait that value is the ability to provide compassionate care towards patients, and helping others become a better version of themselves helps me thrive in this field.
I am organized and a dependable candidate who can manage multiple priorities with a positive attitude, as well as providing great teamwork in the workplace. I am always willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. I am also detail oriented, and which these attributes make one a strong addition to any healthcare team.
