ANNA, IL ***** 309-***-**** *************@*****.***

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I graduated as a licensed practical nurse in May 2005. I am a patient-oriented nurse with 20 years of diverse experience. I have practiced this field and enjoyed every moment since that time. Prior to graduating nursing school and obtaining my degree I was a CNA for many years. I have had the opportunity to get experience and grow in many different areas within nursing. These include the hospital settings at which time I worked on OB, PEDS, NICU and many specialty areas within the hospital setting, family practice, school nursing, behavioral health and corrections nursing. I am skilled at multitasking and prioritizing patient needs and daily assignments. I am a seasoned nursing professional offering proven clinical knowledge, natural interpersonal strengths and technical abilities. Knowledgeable about EMR charting, medication administration and interdisciplinary collaboration focused on optimizing patient care and support. Quality-focused and efficiency-driven leader. I have truly enjoyed every aspect of my nursing career to date. I enjoy every dynamic of nursing in general. I had known from a young age that I wanted to become a nurse. I decided to obtain that goal and worked very hard to get where I am today and have never regretted one single moment. Nursing is truly my passion.
