Summary

A overachiever in the pediatric department for over 16 years taking care of critically ill children. I have maintained the unit stocking coordinator and always kept staff happy and never going over budget. I enjoy taking on secretary role and assisting the flow of the units. I am looking to further my experience in the pediatric department and move on to more critical care. I love the patients and the critical care aspect of it.
