Summary
I am a very compassionate nurse with an extensive history and proven track record at Christiana Care Health System, that specializes in direct patient care and medication administration. I excell in conducting comprehensive patient assessments and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. Over the course of my nursing career, I have attained strong problem-solving abilities and excellent communication skills. I am always ready to tackle new challenges and advance organizational objectives with dedication and enthusiasm.
My desire to apply for the WOC position is both personal and professional. Personally, I am fascinated with wound healing. My passion for helping patients to prevent and maintain healthy skin promoted my desire to obtain my Wound Treatment Associate certification. Professionally, I remain a contributing team member to Christiana Care's pressure injury monitoring for my current unit and assist with educating new team members on the identification, prevention, and treatment of skin injuries. Earning the position offered by our WOC department will be a positive step to my personal fulfillment and I am confident that I can contribute to team's success and achieve positive results.
