Summary
Motivated recent BSN graduate who has obtained extensive clinical experience through my work in the CVIMC unit, where I provided care to patients who are medically complicated as well as patients who are cardiac in nature. This experience has provided me with practical applications of assessment skills, understanding of vital signs and how they are indicative of change, and ability to identify when a patient's state has changed quickly. I am known for my attentiveness, desire to learn new things continually, and commitment to providing safe, patient-centered care. I value teamwork, clear communication, and maintaining a calm, professional demeanor in the patient care environment. I look forward to developing my clinical skills further in this area.
