Summary

Nursing is a very important part of my life. I have invested much time and passion into my degree and career. I have always wanted to be a positive influence in the lives of the people I meet. Through conversation and providing the care each patient needs, I have the opportunity and the ability to positively impact the patients' lives, no matter the situation. The patient is, and should always be, a priority. It is my goal to be their advocate and ensure that the orders are followed, and that the care given benefits each patient. Being a nurse is a part of my character. I am eager to bring these characteristics, experience, and knowledge to the right facility while also learning as much as I possibly can.
