Summary

I am a highly skilled and dedicated Medication Aide and Nurse Aide with extensive hands-on experience in patient care, medication administration, and supporting individuals with diverse medical needs, including dementia, Alzheimer’s, and acute conditions. I am deeply passionate about nursing and committed to advancing my career in the healthcare field.

Currently, I am actively preparing to take the TEAS test as part of my goal to enter a Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program either later this year or early next year. My experience in direct patient care, medication management, and interdisciplinary collaboration has strengthened my desire to grow as a nurse and continue delivering compassionate, high-quality care.

I am eager to contribute to a healthcare team that values growth, learning, and patient-centered care, while gaining the foundational knowledge and experience needed for my transition into nursing.
