Summary
Nursing has always been a calling for me. I have always been fascinated by the medical field. I consider myself a hard worker. Given the work I have done and the accomplishments I have made, whether working one-on-one with patients or collaborating with other members within my workplace, such as nurses, patient care technicians (PCTs), and doctors. I possess multiple skills within my scope of practice, including administering medications, performing physical assessments across all systems of the human body, and knowing the steps during a code. I also provide overall support to patients with their various needs. All in all, I wish to continue growing in my nursing role, and I will continue to expand my knowledge in other settings to become the best I can be for those in need.
