PERSONAL PROFILE
I am seeking employment as a Nurse Practitioner in an OB/GYN clinical setting.
As a Registered Nurse, I gained clinical proficiency in multiple specialty areas that provide a wide, clinical base. Experience gained in acute care areas sharped my critical thinking skills, and community health experiences cultivated empathy, cultural sensitivity, and service to those in need. My student clinical experiences provided instruction in areas of family practice and OB/GYN. My experience as a Nurse Practitioner has been in the areas of OB/GYN and aesthetics.
Professional strengths include my ability to comfortably adapt to different work environments and patient populations. I am tenacious; possess a strong work ethic and commitment to the organization in which I represent. I am highly organized and able to work independently. I am a competent patient care provider who recognizes my limitations and I prefer to work collaboratively and seek advice. I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and proficient computer and EMR knowledge.
