Summary
I am interested in a Personal Support Worker (PSW) position in a long-term care or hospital setting. As a Registered Nurse in the non practicing category with the CNO # 9609512 I am currently completing a refresher course to reinstate my full RN license. I have been out of nursing practice due to cancer treatment and recovery. I am now fully recovered and eager to contribute my skills while gaining hands-on experience in patient support. I am hoping for part time employment to supplement my income while in school. With extensive RN experience in patient care, daily assistance, medication administration, and vital sign monitoring, I bring a strong foundation in compassionate, patient-centered care. While completing my refresher course, I am committed to providing high-quality support in a PSW role. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support your organization. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of an interview.
