Summary
During my six years of patient care experience, I’ve repeatedly partnered with nursing staff to find new, more efficient workflows. I’m very interested in bringing that same spirit of continual improvement to your healthcare facility. I’m a friendly bubbly person who can very effortlessly shift between CNA and nurse duties in a constantly changing environment. Patience and compassion are two of my many strengths, I love what I do and can’t wait to showcase my skills.
