Summary
I began my nursing journey in the medical-surgical ICU, where I honed my skills and embraced challenges. When the pandemic hit, I willingly stepped into the Covid ICU, demonstrating adaptability and commitment to patient care. My proactive attitude caught attention, leading to my selection for specialized training in the transplant unit. I am passionate, always eager to learn, and ready for new opportunities in my nursing career.
