Dedicated LPN passionate about patient care and community service.
What I'm looking for
As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with extensive experience in various healthcare settings, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care to patients. My journey began in dermatology, where I efficiently managed patient appointments and assisted in procedures, ensuring a high standard of care for 30-45 patients daily. This role honed my ability to work in fast-paced environments while maintaining a focus on patient needs.
Currently, I serve at UR Medicine Thompson Health urgent care, where I triage patients and administer treatments, further developing my skills in acute care. My commitment to patient well-being extends beyond clinical duties; I have also volunteered with organizations like the Special Olympics, emphasizing my passion for community service and education. I am eager to continue my professional growth while making a positive impact on those I serve.
