Work Gap Explanation

During the period of absence from formal employment documented in my resume, I dedicated myself to personal development, furthering my education, and prioritizing quality time with my family. I successfully completed a master’s program specializing in family nurse practice, alongside relocating abroad to support my spouse's professional endeavors. During my time abroad, I embraced the responsibilities of parenthood, welcoming the birth of my son and subsequently taking maternity leave. Despite this hiatus, I remained committed to advancing my professional knowledge and skills, allocating significant time to prepare for and pass the ANCC certification exam.
