Summary
As a dedicated and compassionate registered nurse and new graduate FNP, I bring almost eight years of experience in the healthcare field. I have worked in home health, inpatient, and outpatient settings, gaining valuable experience with heart failure, behavioral health, and medical-surgical patient populations. I have also taken on leadership roles, serving as a relief charge nurse, a nursing preceptor, and our unit practice council chairperson. Before attending nursing school, I worked as a patient care assistant in the homes of elderly and dementia patients. During my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) training, I completed approximately 600 hours of supervised clinical experience.
