Introduction
I am sure that I have something special and unique to offer your company. I am a 26 year veteran of healthcare. I began as a CNA, EMT-I, and currently a respiratory therapist. I received my bachelors degree in June of 2021, from UNCC. I have done bedside care for many years. I have extensive experience in ICU and ER. Although I have extensive experience in those areas, I still enjoy learning. I enjoy reading research trials, and learning up to date respiratory care. I am reliable, honest, dedicated, hard working, tactful, cost efficient, and ethical. I defuse and research issues to create a solution. I can efficiently adhere to regulatory protocols, standards, practice, and guidelines of any company. I uphold my ethical values for the company I work for, every patient I evaluate and treat, and the family and friends of the patient. I am a leader and enjoy teaching my experience to others, as well.
