Services offered
As a newly licensed RN, I am eager to begin my nursing career with an organization committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care.
I recently earned my Bachelor of Nursing Degree from The Medicine Hat College, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical skills, patient care, and critical thinking. During my clinical rotations, I gained hands-on experience in various departments including medical-surgical (cardiac and orthopedic), mental health, and primary care. These experiences taught me how to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively with patients and families, and adapt quickly in fast-paced environments.
I am passionate about providing patient-centered care and continuously improving my knowledge and skills. I bring a strong work ethic, reliability, and a commitment to excellence. I am confident that my dedication to the nursing profession and eagerness to learn make me a valuable addition to any team.
Aside from my nursing experience, I own a small business where I teach dance and aquafit classes at the Big Marble Go Centre. My role as a dance and aquafit instructor requires me to build rapport with participants of all ages. In this role I have been created a strong passion for health and lifestyle that I extend to those who I teach. Additionally, as a business owner, I also manage a small team of instructors whom I train and mentor.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your facility. I am available at your convenience for an interview and look forward to the possibility of joining your team.
