Summary
Experienced in prioritizing patient advocacy, dedicated to recognizing and addressing challenges faced by patients without family support. Embracing the role of a concerned individual providing outside intervention, treating each patient as if they were a part of my own family. This approach, inspired by the advice of a seasoned colleague, has greatly enriched my nursing journey. With experience in various fields of nursing, aspiring to utilize nurse coaching experience to effectively address any challenges that patients may encounter.
