I am a highly energetic professional with 19 years of nursing experience. I am punctual and reliable which I find are very commendable aĴributes. I am a team player and believe that when all minds come together for the greater good of our patients that excellent care can be given and optimal results can be achieved. I became a nurse to help others. I come from a family with a strong medical background, but being a nurse is by far the most rewarding career.
I consider myself to be a valuable team player that can not only take constructive criticism, but can offer advice to my fellow co-workers to ensure that they too can reach their full potential. Electronic Health Records (EHR)
