Summary

Experienced with patient care and daily living assistance. Working with children on a daily basis. My passion for working with kids stems from having younger siblings and babysitting since the age of 13. My goal is to become a Pediatric Oncology Nurse to provide the upmost of care to children and their families who are in an extremely vulnerable place. I went into nursing for the purpose of the direct patient care, this is the role where I feel as though I can do the most for my patient and help to the best of my ability while staying in my scope of practice.
