I am a newly registered nurse who graduated from Samuel Merritt University with Magna Cum Laude honors. Throughout my nursing student life, in order to become a proficient nurse, I have learned that it takes hard work, perseverance, and a mindset which is dedicated to continually learn in the healthcare field. I have worked as an Emergency Medical Technician for almost 7 years. Throughout my job experience in healthcare, I found that I love patient care and being with my patients through the good and hard times. I am excited to start my new career in the field in nursing.
