Penticton,BC
Summary
Being a Penticton born and raised woman, my love for this community blossomed long before entering the healthcare workforce. Proving my commitment to life-long learning, I decided to pursue a Practical Nursing Diploma 4 years after becoming a care aide where I spent most of my time in homecare. After 1.5 years of working meticulously to solidify my delivery of high quality bedside nursing care in a fast-paced acute care setting, I now recognize my passion lies within the community. This is why I believe I would be a highly suited addition to your team!
