objective
I am in search of a position of which I can utilize twenty-one
years of nursing experience acquired in pediatric, adult, and
geriatric acute care services. I truly enjoy working in the
acute care field and possess excellent assessment skills. I
would like to continue to build upon these skills by securing
a work at home position in telephonic triage or disease
management promotion. My long term goal is to continue to
work in the nursing field also and possibly obtain my Nurse
Practitioner Degree in Adult Acute Care services.
