My professional goal is to become a family nurse practitioner and I look forward to developing a long-term emphasis on women's health. I am especially interested in this area because, as a woman, I understand the confusion and vulnerability that women often feel when going for their routine OB/GYN visits. My goal is to educate patients and adequately explain plan of care and preventable management of care. I would bring my compassion for care, my love of educating others about health. My aim is to become a Family Nurse Practitioner and use my knowledge and skills to benefit families and individuals in need, by providing them with the best care possible.
I have the necessary skills and experience to become a successful Family Nurse Practitioner, and provide care in all aspects of care. I am confident that I can provide these services with the highest level of care and professionalism as part of a team that can provide adequate care to the community.
