Summary

I have been blessed to work as a registered nurse for 20 years.

My most prized achievement's are moments caring for residents or patients and their families.

The privilege to journey together and share in their highs and lows.

Offering comfort through care is true essence of nursing.

Receiving acknowledgement by compliments from families is the most amazing reward achievement it is very humbling.

Quality in clinical care and clinical practice is my motivation and greatest achievement as registered nurse.
