Summary
I am a compassionate and mature new graduate Registered Nurse with a strong foundation in medical-surgical nursing developed through BSN education and clinical experiences in diverse hospital settings, including Medical-Surgical and Bone Marrow Transplant units. Complementary clinical experience in Labor & Delivery, Antepartum and Mother-Baby nursing has strengthened my ability to provide patient-centered, family-focused care. In addition to current evidence-based nursing knowledge and clinical training, I also bring the perspective and maturity gained through raising two children and navigating years of professional, family, and community responsibilities. These experiences have cultivated patience, empathy, resilience, adaptability, and a genuine understanding of the importance of listening to and advocating for patients and families.
