As a nursing student I strive to serve my patients in a safe and empathetic manner. I seek to learn from those around me and include patients in their care planning. My work as a CNA has given me the skills to manage time, be organized, and work with complex patients in times of hardship. I wish to perfect and practice my skills while delivering optimal patient care.
