What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my nursing skills in a supportive environment focused on patient care and professional growth.

I am an accomplished Licensed Vocational Nurse with a strong foundation in critical thinking and medical knowledge. My experience spans various healthcare settings where I have successfully collaborated with physicians and multidisciplinary teams to restore patients' health through effective nursing and health education processes. I thrive in high-pressure environments, maintaining a positive attitude and ensuring the best care for my patients.

Throughout my career, I have held multiple roles, including Charge Nurse and Clinic Manager, where I have demonstrated my ability to delegate tasks, manage patient care plans, and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations. My commitment to patient education and advocacy has allowed me to build strong relationships with patients and their families, fostering an environment of trust and support.

I am dedicated to continuous improvement and professional development, always seeking opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge in nursing. I believe that effective communication and organization are key to providing exceptional care, and I strive to embody these values in every aspect of my work.
