Detail-oriented Licensed Practical Nurse with strong teamwork skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented Licensed Practical Nurse graduate, trained to excel in diverse healthcare settings. My experience as a Behavioral Youth Counselor has equipped me with the ability to administer medications and implement behavioral interventions effectively. I pride myself on my superior work ethic and my capacity to adapt quickly to new challenges, ensuring that I provide the best care possible to my patients.
Throughout my clinical experiences, I have demonstrated critical thinking and clinical judgment, particularly during my internships at various healthcare facilities. I have honed my skills in medication administration, patient assessment, and maintaining professional boundaries. My commitment to patient care is reflected in my ability to build strong relationships with clients, providing them with emotional support and companionship while ensuring their medical needs are met.
As I embark on my professional journey, I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a dynamic healthcare team. I am dedicated to continuous learning and growth within the nursing field, and I am excited about the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients.
