Summary
I am a RN, BSN dedicated to improving the lives of all patients under my care while easing the work strain for my nursing team. Simply put, if a patient or coworker has a need that I am able to meet, I want to be there to help in the best way that I can. I am passionate about providing holistic healthcare that is individualized to each patient, and I believe it is an honor to take care of people in their time of need. I believe that the best units in a hospital are comprised of nurses who believe that it takes a cohesive team to accomplish the job. I can promise to continue to bring a joy and love for nursing to the unit, and I'm excited about the opportunity to leave travel nursing to join as staff on a unit that I have grown to love!
