Summary
I am a motivated and devoted nurse who is dedicated to the mantra, "never stop learning." I am consistently looking to learn something new in the world of nursing each day and I am skilled in utilizing my resources. With learning comes a passion for teaching students, interns, families, and patients. I am a focused Nurse Educator who delivers consistent and professional work for every assignment. I am punctual, organized, observant, and I am skilled in my time management and patient care. I am also a nurse who not only loves to teach others the art of nursing, but loves all realms of the nursing universe. I look forward to growth in myself, my professional practice, and encouraging growth in my colleagues around me.
