ICU CNA Resume Example
I am a student at Gateway Technical college, looking to receive my RN degree come August 2021. I am a self-motivated individual that is searching for part/full-time employment as a CNA, so that I can contribute towards my future career as a licensed nurse. Until I have received my MSN, I am seeking a more stable employment that will allow me to grow within the nursing field for the next couple of years-transitioning from a CNA to an RN. I set high expectations and goals for myself which allows me to be such a motivated individual.
