About me..
The less fancy words, more “me” area of the resume. It will definitely have poorly placed punctuation, absolutely have run on sentences and plenty of other grammatical errors. Thankfully, I’m much better at nursing than I am writing papers, though I am enrolled for my BSN completion.
I love my profession. I love making being able to make a difference, all clichés aside. Horrible things happen, to most of us at some point in our lives. I like being the person there to help navigate patients and their families through those times, to me it is an honor.
