COMPASSIONATE RN
Mesa, AZ *****
******************@***********.***
I am an RN who will add compassion and a diverse skill set to any facility. I bring my clinical skills and the ability to be part of a team. I am a leader that will always be open and willing to learn. I bring 15 years of experience as an RN and I contribute to others by being "of service" at all times. I am a believer in team building and customer service as being of great importance in Health Care Delivery. My leadership style is one of meeting the needs of the direct care givers through listening and education. All staff should feel connected. When this is the culture, patient care, satisfaction, and controllable outcomes improve.
