Summary
I am a recent graduate of a two-year LPN program and an experienced health care aide. My personal work standards include, but are not limited to: ethicality, compassion, professional boundaries, time management, patient-centered care, and critical thinking.
I have experience working with geriatric clients with dementia, Alzheimer's, mental health, and cognitive impairments. My experience in the emergency department has driven my desire to pursue nursing and work with people during their most vulnerable times. I fiercely, but compassionately advocate for the autonomy and choice of my patients and clients that I work with. I intend to continually pursue further education in nursing and embrace endless learning.
