critical thinking skills. Also, I have had thorough training as a student nurse practitioner in a variety of
practices, focusing on the entire lifespan. I am extremely hard working and quick to learn in new
environments, making an asset to your team. I work efficiently both with others and individually and I am
eager to advance my career into this new role.
