I have been a LPN since 2005, mostly working in the clinic settings. I have experience in very fast pace settings. I also have experience in the back grounds of medical, behavioral health, and cardiology. The elderly have always been a favorite of mine. The least favorite for me has been peds. Between medical and behavioral health, I have grown to love behavioral health.
