Summary
Dedicated and skilled Registered Nurse with an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), earned in May 2024. While unforeseen circumstances delayed the start of my RN career, I have remained actively involved in patient care by working full-time as a Medical Assistant in a high-volume urgent care clinic. This experience has allowed me to maintain and sharpen my clinical skills, including triage, vital signs monitoring, wound care, EKGs, medication administration, specimen collection, and patient education. I am also proficient in electronic charting, documentation, and infection control protocols. Known for being dependable, calm under pressure, and compassionate with patients from diverse backgrounds. Now fully licensed and ready to transition into an RN role, I bring hands-on experience, a strong work ethic, and a deep commitment to delivering safe, high-quality care as part of a collaborative healthcare team.
