Summary

A seasoned LPN from Western State Hospital, I excel in medication administration and building patient relationships. My expertise led to a 30% improvement in patient satisfaction through high-quality care and effective communication. Skilled in nursing and empathetic support, I am committed to enhancing patient well-being and safety. I believe the skill set that I have learned in nursing will be beneficial in any job that I take as a part-time job. I don't want to work as a nurse for a part-time job. I'm looking to expand my horizon
