Objective
Over my tenure as a Licensed practical Nurse I have had the amazing privilege of being able to be there for patients and/or families at their most vulnerable times. Sometimes that may be simply educating on a disease process or medication(s) that are unknown, other times it may be the act of assessing a patient and families situation and assisting them in obtaining those items that will make their care easier and more fulfilling, and then there are the times when a patient is end of life and I get the honor of sharing in that emotion with both patient and family. I am searching for an employer that will allow me to be there for my patients and their families; that is what I love and what I am passionate about, being able to care for others at their most critical times.
