01 / MY APPROACH

A little
about me.

I want to build my career in intensive care. My student clinical experience included CVICU, NSICU, and emergency care at Good Samaritan Hospital, followed by a senior preceptorship in telemetry.

During my telemetry preceptorship, I cared for a four-patient assignment with my preceptor, identified heart blocks on rhythm strips, and communicated changes in patient condition. I also participated in infusion monitoring and titration. Those are skills I want to keep developing as I work toward ICU practice.

I’m looking for a nurse residency with close guidance and opportunities to strengthen my assessment and clinical judgment. Before nursing school, I worked in patient services at Menlo Medical Clinic and Family Medicine Samaritan. That experience taught me to listen, explain clearly, and follow through.
