While in nursing school I took a job as an ER nurse tech unsure of the career path I wanted to pursue: Since starting this career path I have been thoroughly cross-trained as a unit clerk/secretary. Although I may not being able to practice my nursing skills at every job I apply for throughout my schooling, I have managed to pick up many skills to excel in other areas. I am proficiently trained to use Microsoft Office and Excel. I have learned valuable customer/patient servicing skills. I have worked from ER, to rehabilitation, to med/surg, to now post op. I am eager to learn and expand my skill set. A person can never be too educated, and I can not wait to see the nurse I become when I finish school. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
