As an energetic leader, I exhibit many qualities that contribute to my success.
Proactively seeking out information, gaining understanding, making informed
decisions, and following through are integral parts of my leadership style. My

an efficient and timely manner. I am a new graduate with only clinical skills of a
nurse practitioner but I have the eagerness and willingness to learn. In my clinical
experience, I was able to assess and implement my plan for my patients. A major
part of my professional belief system includes maintaining a balanced public profile
and serving as a positive role model to all colleagues. My dedication to healthcare
and a strong work ethic are both regarded as valuable inner qualities. I have a
professional demeanor that incorporates a sense of seriousness and a jovial spirit
that allows me to be open, honest, and approachable. As a leader, I have high
expectations for myself as well as others. My experience working with a diverse
population has taught me that providing options and having the ability to be flexible
is very important. Being firm, fair, and consistent has created a mutual respect with
both subordinates and superiors.
I have a genuine interest in continuing my professional career. Highly effective
organizational skills, enthusiasm, cooperation, and a strong work ethic contribute
to my success. I am confident I will be a productive leader and make a significant
contribution administratively.
