Summary
Passionate LPNA with proven experience in a hospital setting.
Proven ability to build strong relationships with patients, their families and co-workers, while providing compassionate care.
Provides strong organizational task and prioritization skills.
Willing to take on additional responsibilities to achieve team goals.
My goal is to find and maintain a full-time position that presents career challenges using excellent interpersonal, time management and problem-solving skills.
I believe that with my 24 years working in Dalhousie and Campbellton hospitals (10 of my last years have been primarily on Forensics) I have proven myself to be a dedicated employee and I look forward to the LPNA position on Forensic Psychiatric Evaluation unit.

Photography, Singing, Decorating, Spending quality time with one of my eleven grandchildren
Photography has been hobby for many years now, I have created calendars, entered contests-my favorites being sunsets, nature and portrait photography for families. I have been singing since I can remember and often sang at weddings and was a DJ for many years. Christmas is my favorite time of year and I often start decorating way too early but thoroughly enjoy it, but also decorate my porch for every season as the little children pass by my home on their way to school and have spoken about how much they enjoy seeing it. My most favorite past time is spending wonderful moments with my grandchildren and family. Happiness is the key in life.
