Summary
I have worked as an LPN in a small hospital since 2024, taking care of both med/surg patients as well as ED patients simultaneously. I have almost five years experience in a level 2 trauma center as a tech and over six years experience on an ambulance. I have learned to read patients and can recognize what they tell me as well as what they don't tell me. I take my training seriously and hold myself to a high standard. When stress is high I am able to stay calm and do my job to the best of my abilities. I love working with people in their time of need and do my best to make them comfortable whether its major or minor.
