I have been a licensed practical nurse since June 9th 1992. Before becoming a nurse I was a CNA. I am presently taking online courses to obtain my RN. I believe my greatest attribute to be the care and time I give to each and every one of my patients and their families. It is a very gratifying to know my patients and their families are comforted through the education, time and resources I give them. I enjoy being a part of a team and believe that teamwork is crucial to a patient’s success. I smile and believe the adage “ laughter is the best medicine.” My greatness weakness is honesty. Although it is often seen as an attribute by most, I have found that being too honest can be harmful in some cases.
