Jaclyn Papalski
@jaclynpapalski
Aspiring nurse dedicated to holistic health and patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated nursing student with a passion for holistic health and patient care. Currently pursuing dual degrees in Nursing and Liberal Studies at The University of Scranton, I have gained valuable clinical experience through various internships and coursework. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my academic achievements, including being on the Dean's List.
During my time as a Nursing Intern at Hunterdon Medical Center, I honed my skills in patient assessment, medication administration, and care continuity. I thrive in dynamic environments, having worked both day and night shifts in the medical-surgical department. My volunteer experiences and active membership in the Student Nurses Association have further enriched my understanding of nursing ethics and interdisciplinary collaboration.
As I approach graduation, I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a healthcare team that values compassionate care and professional development. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to engage with patients and make a meaningful impact in their lives.
