Summary
Motivated and experienced Registered Nurse with over 20 years of direct patient care. I am currently seeking a supervised practice experience (SPE) to reinstate my full working registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario. I am ready to contribute to any employer needing a skilled and dedicated RN. I am eager to complete my SPE during orientation and can begin as soon as a sponsor is approved by the CNO. Committed to rejoining the workforce and delivering exceptional patient care, I bring both experience and a strong willingness to learn and adapt.
