I am a dedicated new graduate Registered Nurse with a strong commitment to patient-centered care and clinical excellence. My experience as a CNA at UCSD Health, including in the CVICU, has provided me with valuable exposure to high-acuity patients, interdisciplinary collaboration, and critical thinking in fast-paced environments. Assisting in the care of critically ill patients has strengthened my attention to detail, adaptability, and ability to work under pressure. I am eager to apply my skills, continue learning, and contribute to a dynamic healthcare team.
