To Whom this May Concern,
As a LPN with many years of experience in many areas I am able to offer
education to other staff members. I believe that as we gain education
through experience we are able to not only better ourselves but those that
we work with. I also believe if we leave a job and those around us have
become better than we than we have done our job well.
I am dependable, flexible and very organized. I have been a med/surg floor
nurse, oncology nurse, been a Brain Injury Specialist, nurse unit manager,
and have military experience which have all given me the ability to work
through issues on many levels.
I am a nurse that believes quality of care is the only way to meet the
needs of our clients/patients and that quantity of care is what comes after
you have met those needs.
Thank you for taking the time to review my resume.
Sincerely,
Catrina J. Girard
