Summary

Compassionate, motivated and committed cardiovascular and renal nurse with over 9 years of experience. I’m a patient-focused and compassionate nurse who has experience in urgent and high-patient-volume settings. I am able to assist doctors as a charge nurse, and I have previously helped train new nurses to understand their duties. My co-workers consider me to be friendly and outgoing. Another strength that I have is making others comfortable and de-escalating tense situations.
