Summary
I am a dedicated and compassionate nurse with proven ability to provide a high standard of patient care in a fast-paced environment. Calm and level-headed when handling high-stress situations. I enjoy educating staff and students on new skills and procedures and how to effectively assess and treat our patients. Being a mother, I am fully dedicated to the importance of health literacy and believe the not only treating the patient but treating/educating families will ultimately result in a better outcome for everyone.
