Summary
For the last 10 years, I have been slowly working my way towards my RN-BSN. Now that I am an RN, I want to continue to learn and absorb as much knowledge as I can. I strive to be an advocate and provide the best care that I can to every patient I have. I will continue to gain all of the experience possible and hope to further my education in the future. Working at a Magnet hospital I feel can help me with that goal.
