Favorite Thing About My Profession:

Possesses 12 years of experience as a Registered Nurse-Board Certified with a focus in the medical-surgical and emergency department in large hospital environments. Currently proficient in emergencies and collaborating with clinical staff. Cross-functional history in hemodialysis setting, medical-surgical support, neurological support care, and step-down units. I am recognized as a compassionate care provider who connects with patients and staff members and works as a nurse leader to help individuals in the community. I am now seeking to join an organization to work as a nurse practitioner utilizing my educational skills and novice experience with a company that values precision and a team-oriented healthcare approach. I am seeking a fast-paced and challenging position in an atmosphere of open collaboration to provide optimal care to patients.

Moreover, I chose to pursue a career as a nurse practitioner because I am invested in the care and treatment of those I can serve. During my education, I found that nursing was of particular interest to me, so I chose to continue to earn my nurse practitioner license. When I was younger, I always see myself working in the hospital in a white coat, caring for and serving people. I believe I can make an impact on every individual once I take care of them. I am very passionate with I do, and I am confident enough to be an asset to the healthcare field.
