SUMMARY:

I have been in nursing for over 30 years. I was a nursing assistant level 2 for 10 years before obtaining my nursing license in 1996, I pride myself on being efficient and a good time organizer. I am very meticulous in my day to day activities and my patients have often said I am very good at what I do. I always follow up with them. Even if It may be the next day before I can give them an answer to their problem, I will call them and let them know it will be the next day. The physician I worked with at Foothills Internal Medicine often praised me for doing a good job. If given the opportunity I will take ownership of my responsibilities and would like to be somewhere where my skills and experience will be needed. I am looking for a long term position that I can make my home. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

P.s. I worked in fast food for 6 months when I was 15 years old and I waited tables at a restaurant for about a year.
