Objective

I am seeking to bring together the skills and knowledge I have acquired in many areas of nursing and situations in over more than 24 years of nursing. I enjoy my chosen career and will continually seek opportunities to learn and grow in skill. Working with others, I strive to improve the quality of care for clients and seek ways to increase accessibility to excellent care in a timely manner. The vocation of nursing, always endeavoring to improve the standards of care, must remember above all else, to advocate for the client in all ways, to be compassionate and maintain the integrity that is expected of the nursing profession.
