Summary
In my first few years in the profession, I have developed a strong passion for Emergency and Critical Care Nursing. I enjoy the fast paced environment, working closely as a team and the need to constantly adapt and learn new things on our feet. I see myself working as an Emergency Nurse for years to come. I would like to hone my skills and build onto my knowledge in order for me to provide the best care I can to patients presenting to the Emergency Department.
