What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive work environment where I can grow my nursing skills and contribute to patient care.

I am a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with a strong commitment to providing exceptional patient care. My education at the Medical Careers Institute has equipped me with the necessary skills to excel in various healthcare settings. I am passionate about assisting patients with their daily activities and ensuring their comfort and well-being.

Throughout my experience, I have developed a diverse skill set, including phlebotomy, telemetry monitoring, and medication administration. I have worked in multiple roles, from a Nursing Student at Summerville Medical Center to a Direct Support Specialist at Coastal Regional Center, where I advocated for consumers' needs and preferences. My background in beauty as a Prestige Beauty Advisor at Ulta Beauty has also honed my communication skills, allowing me to engage effectively with patients and their families.
