What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused nursing role in a collaborative clinical team where I can apply LVN skills, advance clinical competence, and support quality care and patient-family communication.

I am a Licensed Vocational Nurse with hands-on experience in long-term and acute care, skilled nursing, and patient support roles. I started my healthcare career as a Certified Nursing Assistant and advanced to LVN, where I administer medications, record vitals, document care in electronic medical records, and collaborate closely with RNs and physicians to support positive patient outcomes.

I bring strong interpersonal and customer-service skills from prior roles in customer service, retail, and security, which I apply to building trust with patients and families, managing challenging situations, and maintaining accurate records and infection-control practices. I am committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care and supporting team goals in clinical settings.
