Nicole Costa
West Barnstable,MA
Summary
Hello my name is Nicole Costa. I turn 19 years old in April and I was born in the United States but I come from a brazilian background which makes me bilingual. I am currently an online student at Cape Cod Community College finishing up my pre-requisites so I can enter the nursing program and become a RN! I have been working at Cape Cod Hospital for over a year now as a CNA working with a bunch of different group of ages and many people that has other differences than others. While working I wanted to gain more experience for the future and so I got a certification in phlebotomy. Something that makes me different and a good candidate is that I am always willing to learn something new and gain new hobbies. I am a very fast learner, and being a fast learner also makes me a very organized person but also someone that is good with communication even if it’s something just very little. I have always been someone so in love with the medical field and very passionate with how health works. As of now I plan to work full time and hopefully learn more new things in the medical field.
