Summary
With over 3.5 years of experience as a registered nurse and 18 years of previous LPN experience, I have developed a strong skill set in wound care, infusion/IV site assessment, case management, and effective communication. I have also gained expertise in development training and conflict resolution, supporting a natural teamwork mentality. Now, I am eager to find a position where I can leverage my relevant experience, skills, talents, and abilities to contribute towards achieving company goals. As a patient-focused and empathic registered nurse, I am seeking a role with a growing and reputable medical practice where I can apply my extensive knowledge and care to improve the lives of patients.
