Yolanda  Salas

Summary

Dedicated, responsible and compassionate.

Good time management skills, fast learner, will go the extra when needed, patient and hard working.

Fluent in Spanish, and knowledgeable in Point Click Charting.

Plan to take 16 week course to become certified as WOC RN .

This course is online and begins in January 2024. Since I seek a night shift position, this will not interfere with the work schedule.

I believe this certification will greatly enhance my skills as a bedside care nurse.
