Summary
Being a Nurse has not been just a career, but it has been an important part of my being. As a Nurse with several years of experience and varied roles in the Nursing field, it is now my responsibility to lead new, inexperienced, and role-changing Nurses in the execution of their Nursing duties professionally and compassionately. I am seeking a position that will allow me to provide oversight and guidance to the Nursing Staff in techniques of completing professional and thorough documentation per policy and procedure and contractual guidelines.
