PROFILE

With 14 years dedicated to nursing, I have honed a reputation for diligence and devotion in my healthcare career. Balancing the roles of a nurturing mother, supportive wife, and a caring daughter, I bring a blend of hard work and compassion to every aspect of my life. As a mother, I shower my 2 loving sons’ (whom are adult at present time) with love and guidance, while as a wife, I stand as a pillar of strength and encouragement for my husband. Rooted in being a devoted daughter, I embody values of respect, empathy, and integrity in all my interactions.

Through my commitment to excellence in nursing and my roles within my family, I strive to be an exemplary individual, dedicated to making a positive impact on those around me. I am thankful and grateful to continue with a great passion as a nurse since 2010! Looking forward to improve in all aspects as an RN due to the fact I have the honor to say was hired immediately on 2-14-2024 was informed I was hired to review/read documents and sign/submit via on-line to Starr County Nursing and Transitional Care location in Rio Grande City, Texas Started orientation date: 02-14-2024 and continue working here at present time. I was absolutely exited. There were changes leading me from full-time/RN to as needed due to low census. I continue active at this facility. Honestly, I am truly dedicated to growth in the RN position as well as I had as an LVN!

A full-time job would be great if given an opportunity, and training if needed in any specialty to continue to provide the best health care for all resident’s, patients, as well as benefiting any company hospital, or facility etc… I work for.

I believe my passion as a nurse continues greatly! I would strongly appreciate an opportunity to embrace growth in all aspects as an RN. I truly believe my qualities as a good nurse.

My passion as a nurse has strong empathy, compassion, practical skills, critical thinking, and communication towards healthcare are important to me. I truly believe I am willing/capable of growth in my RN career if given more opportunites.

With that being said training, learning, and having an opportunity for a full-time job after 1 year of becoming a Registered Nurse had me discouraged for a few minutes today 7-20-2025 at the same time I am motivated more than ever to continue my search. God is great and has prepared me to become now more than ever strong, motivated, committed, to continue for my perfect timing.

I know my worth and will not give up. I will move with actions submitting my resume, being available for interviews with no obligations of hire, I will travel to meet for interviews. All I want is an opportunity! Thank you.
