I am a Nurse with something special. Along with my nursing education I
come with a pocket full of proven skills such as assessment, planning,
critical thinking, analysis, teaching, communication, negotiation, and
supervision. Through my experience as a long term acute care floor
Nurse, school Nurse, IAT (home care) Nurse, ALH Nurse, volunteer Nurse
and a CNA my I have grown. I like to use my head, my hands and my
heart. I like a challenge; I like to get things done. I hate to be
told it can't be done, I love to learn. I love a busy, fluid day. This
is when I KNOW I make a difference. I look forward to growing my
skills as a nurse using my unique talent, personality, perspective and
humor; learning new and exciting things and meeting great people along
the way.
