Summary
I’ve worked in nursing since 2005 and would love to get back into the geriatric population, to work on basic daily living and other skills. I’ve worked in a hospital mainly since 2008. I worked for Wesley long nursing center before they were sold to Adam’s farm . I’m interested in obtaining a job working 11 to 7 so I can go back to school and get my LPN
