REGISTERED NURSE
Professional Summary

My experience since beginning my nursing career has evolved into multiple skill sets that are required of a Registered Nurse. With experience in the emergency room, med surge/trauma, surgical care unit, and nursing home settings, my skills are not limited to a particular nursing field. I have enjoyed nursing as a second career in my life. I also feel that my past experience in mission work and business ownership have further enhanced my skills that I use every day to ensure the happiness and well being of others. I enjoy people and I find that I am happiest when those around me are happy. My favorite quote is by Albert Einstein. "A life worth living is a life lived for others." I have found this to hold true in life. The nursing profession has enabled me to live this out and I have made this my motto in life. I am at my happiest when I am working as a nurse and devoting time to missions.
