What I'm looking for

I am seeking an RN role in women’s and children’s health where I can provide compassionate, family-centered care, grow clinical skills, and work within a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse student completing an Associate of Applied Sciences in Nursing, with clinical experience across med-surg, telemetry, cardiac, vascular, orthopedics, urology, and neonatal intensive care. I bring two years' prior experience as a Physical Therapy Technician and a strong ethic for honest, team-based patient care.

During clinical rotations at multiple Baptist Health Medical Center locations, I assisted patients with daily activities, administered medications under instructor supervision, monitored and documented vital signs and patient progress, and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care. I have hands-on experience with patient ambulation, catheter insertion, Epic charting, and parent education in newborn care.

I hold Basic Life Support (AHA) certification and am preparing for NCLEX licensure (exam January 2025) and neonatal resuscitation (NRP 2025). I seek to bring my clinical skills, strong communication, and compassionate nature to an RN role focused on women’s and children’s health.
