What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my nursing skills in a supportive environment, where I can contribute to patient care and collaborate with a dedicated healthcare team.

I am a Licensed Vocational Nurse with a strong commitment to providing exceptional patient care and support. With a Vocational Nursing Diploma from Stanbridge University and extensive experience in various healthcare settings, I have honed my skills in patient assessment, medication administration, and emergency care. My dedication to maintaining high standards of care is reflected in my perfect attendance and consistent recognition on the Dean's List.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse environments, including senior living facilities, schools, and urgent care clinics. My role as a Charge Nurse at Belmont Village Senior Living involved overseeing clinical operations and ensuring compliance with care standards. I excel in coordinating with healthcare teams and families to deliver timely interventions and support. My experience as a school nurse has further enhanced my ability to communicate effectively with students, parents, and staff, ensuring that health-related matters are addressed promptly and compassionately.
