Professional self reflection

I have been a nurse for 20+ years, started as a CNA and continued from there. I have the skills of someone who has done almost everything! I'm a quick learner and great problem solver. I also enjoy being a patient advocate to those in need. I love working with people who can teach me more and or open my mind to new things. Have very few dislikes, very dependable, and able to work around any situation. I've worked ER/floor nurse rural hospital, home health wound care, geriatrics floor/management/woundcare nursing, and Charge nurse working close with my peers. I have done multiple jobs due to working PRN so my work schedule could fit my families schedule, a single mother of 4, now only one child left in home and is in High school. I am efficient in English/Spanish, can also read and write in Spanish.
