Summary

LPN of 35 years with an active license looking for a change. I have a diverse work experience in the medical field but I am not up to date with the new computer programs. I have over the past 7 years utilized either my smart phone or a tablet to do my required documentation. My job preference is to either continue with caring for people or to venture out into another line of work where as I would still be assisting and or helping others in some way shape or form. I do not have a background in sales of any kind but would be interested in a change from a medical position if I received the right job offer.
