Personal Goals
I am interested in what I can provide in the medical industry through my skills and experience in risk assessment and injury prevention as well as utilizing advanced techniques in patient care and wellness. This experience coupled with my education as an APRN and experience in adult care management makes me confident with my skills and will give me the ability to provide patient confidence in my diagnoses and treatment options. In my practice, I have encountered patients with various mental illness such as depression, and anxiety.
During my experience as an APRN, RN and a student in my clinical rotation, I was able to develop and enhance my interpersonal skill with other interdisciplinary teams. I am hoping to use this as a personal gain to enhance my abilities as a provider in the organization and to continue developing good and lasting relationships with other professionals.
