Summary

I am a dedicated Patient Care Technician from Geisinger Medical Center, excelling in infection control and patient education. Known for a professional bedside manner and adaptability in emergencies, I thrive in fast-paced environments, ensuring high-quality care and promoting patient satisfaction through effective collaboration and compassionate attention. My objective is to obtain an externship preferably at GMC for the summer of 2025 on an Intensive Care Unit (preferably the CVICU or the SICU). I would like to obtain clinical knowledge in this area as this is where I want to pursue my career as a registered nurse. I believe that the critical care setting is an area where nurses have the opportunity to use a problem-solving approach to deliver health care that integrates patient care data with collaborative care expertise as well as patient preferences and values.
