Summary
With over seven years of experience as a registered nurse in the ICU and PACU I have developed strong clinical judgment, confidence in my skills and my inclination to care for the critically ill has grown. I have fine-tuned my ability to manage ventilators, vasoactive drips, therapies and consequently my ability to develop an intuition addressing cause, effect and possible treatments. Adapting swiftly to new environments, collaborating with new colleagues and problem solving in everchanging environments as a travel nurse has been paramount in my success as a registered nurse and watered the seed for my dream of becoming a CRNA. I am committed to becoming a CRNA; my education and expertise paint a small part of a bigger picture of my capabilities and commitment to providing high-quality, safe anesthesia to my patients.
