Summary
After spending 8 years in the dental field, a branch off of healthcare, I am very eager to go more in depth with patient care of the entire body and not just the mouth. I am ready to jump right in to the always evolving world of nursing and test and expand my knowledge on medication administration, patient monitoring, critical thinking and nursing interventions, and so much more!
