What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on nursing roles where I can apply clinical skills, grow under experienced teams, provide compassionate patient-centered care, and continue professional development toward RN licensure.

I am a Bachelor of Science in Nursing candidate at Western Kentucky University with a 4.0 GPA and expected NCLEX eligibility in May 2026. I bring over 400 clinical hours across med-surg, telemetry, ER, PACU, OB, pediatrics, psychiatric floors, and hands-on skills including IV, NG tube, and catheter insertion.

My clinical and hospital experience includes a nurse extern role on Mother Baby, NICU, and surgical pediatric units, plus roles supporting specimen collection, assessments, and Epic EMR documentation. I have a track record of reliability and positive teamwork demonstrated by awards and early recognition in patient-facing roles.

I hold Basic Life Support certification and have a strong service orientation reflected in sustained volunteer work and community service. I seek to continue growing clinically while delivering safe, empathetic care and contributing to collaborative care teams.
