Versatile and ambitious associate with two years of experience in customer service and food preparation. Proficient in cash handling, POS systems, and food handling. Currently pursuing an associate's degree in health science. Possesses strong communication, presentation, and leadership skills. Seeking to leverage these skills in a dynamic, rewarding environment.
Although I have extensive experience in the food industry, my goal is to become a registered nurse. I desire to work in a hands-on clinical setting to gain experience. While I'm still in school, gaining the prerequisites to enter nursing school, I have acquired knowledge about patient care principles, including monitoring vital signs, infection control, and basic medical terminology over the years.
Recently, my mother had C3-C4 spinal surgery, and I, being primarily her caretaker, have gained experience monitoring her vitals and blood pressure at home. Giving her around-the-clock care. Further into her recovery, she was soon diagnosed with diverticulitis and colitis. She was then hospitalized for one week. And during that week, I stayed with her. There, I got to meet many talented RNs and PCTs who cared for my mom. They encouraged me to pursue my nursing career and gave me advice on which schools I should attend. This gave me a look into what working in a hospital setting truly feels like. I am willing to learn, train, and gain as much knowledge as I need to work in a hospital setting.
