I worked in a small four-bed ICU and precepted new graduate nurses and travelers to the unit. Transferred to the ER department to keep my trauma certification, wanted to continue with the fast-paced environment I was used to working daily at Liberty hospital. I love nursing, and I love what I do for all my patients. I enjoy being a team player when it comes to helping my colleagues.
