I am writing in response to pursue my goal for professional growth and development in 2017: to expand my knowledge and experience as a RN to meet the needs of patients, families and the community with interests in cardiac: heart failure, geriatrics, health promotion/community outreach.
Motivation, determination, and commitment are essential qualifications needed to create a productive and professional environment. I believe that the performance of the individual not only reflects him/her, but also the company that they represent. While working as a RN at Lutheran Hospital on the Advanced Cardiac Therapy unit, I have received numerous compliments about my positive and upbeat attitude towards my patients, and co-workers. I realize the importance of superior communication, multi-tasking, prioritizing and critical thinking skills in this line of business, and I feel that I possess these skills to be successful.
