Objective:

I was a nursing preceptor and trained many new nurses to the floor routine and duties/responsilibilies of becoming a competent, strong staff nurse in a very busy environment. I believe I possess excellent interpersonel skills, organizational skills and an excellent nursing knowledge basis. I graduated 5th in my nursing class and was also awarded The Alumni Award from ST.Vincent's School of Nursing, for high personal and professional ideals.
