Summary
My professional experience is long and varied. My rationale for the lack of career progression can be explained. I have a son on the Autistic Spectrum and have had to dedicate my time to him rather than to a higher level career. However, he is now 16 years of age, excelling in all areas, granting me permission to finally move on with my career. I have recently received my certification in Clinical Research by the National Institute of Health. I have maintained my knowledge base in Critical care, Orthopedics and Pediatrics. The only experience I don't have is in the field of Obstetrics! I am interested in delivering quality patient care just like you are. I am a problem solver and enjoy collaborating with other professionals. I love to learn and my heart is set on eventually finishing my Master's degree in Nursing. I am astounded at the amount of health services in Connecticut. I recently relocated from NY. My license has been verified and endorsed to the Department of Public Health of Connecticut. I have applied for a Connecticut license and am awaiting a temporary permit to practice.
