Summary
I aim to further my career wherever I go. I have experience in a fast-paced work environment filled with diverse populations. I bring with me skills that I have learned as a Registered Nurse in a level 2 trauma center that also provided care for strokes and heart attacks. I have worked as a trauma nurse and a triage nurse as well as worked the floor on a cardiac unit. I am confident in my skills as a nurse and caregiver. I truly believe it takes a good team to properly provide care for patients, and I ensure to do my part as part of that team. My goal is to provide the best patient care possible and to do my best to comfort the patient and family members throughout their stay.
