Patricia Faucett
Registered Professional Nurse
Atlanta,GA
Summary
Driven, hardworking and veteran Registered Nurse bringing demonstrated patient care, medication monitoring and treatment management expertise.
Adaptable and resilient with strong attention to detail, clinical expertise and emergency response experience.
Bringing a 25 year record of success in a variety of nursing experience, I desire to embrace a different kind of nursing of Aesthetics with enthusiasm and excitement I haven't felt since being a graduate nurse.
I would love to be able to help clients with interventions which will improve their physical outward looks, mental increase in self-esteem, or just finally taking excellent care of themselves with my help.
I believe this greatly influences someone's happiness and the ability to face the world with renewed confidence.
I have not practiced nursing since 2013 due to illness.
