Summary

Caring and dedicated “soon to be” nursing graduate excited to start my career as a Registered Nurse. With my ADN from Rasmussen University and hands-on experience in clinical research, I bring a unique blend of compassion, critical thinking, and a strong desire to make a real difference in patients’ lives. I’m looking to join a team where I can grow as a nurse, provide excellent care, and support patients and families through every step of their healthcare journey.
