Kelowna

Summary

I am a full-time nursing student based in Kelowna, BC, currently in my first semester, where I am focusing on medical asepsis and basic nursing skills. With a background in the hospitality industry, I have developed strong communication skills and the ability to effectively de-escalate situations. My experience as a pharmacy assistant has given me a deep understanding of patient confidentiality and the organization of medical records. I am passionate about gaining hands-on experience in the healthcare field and applying my skills to contribute to patient care and hospital operations.
