Summary
Growing up in Poland, I always knew that I wanted to pursue an undergraduate degree. Therefore, upon entering into the United States in 2005, I worked hard in high school in order to be able to attend college. Majoring in Biology, I felt inclined to later pursue my degree in Nursing. I dedicated my career to helping others and to becoming a successful Nurse. My overall goal is to serve in a hospital and to work with my fellow peers improving the health and well-being of my patients. I also want to be known for my compassionate care and medical ethics. After over 3 years of experience I can call my self a healthcare professional with strong background in patient care and medical support. I have knowledge for collaborative work with medical teams to deliver high-quality care and adapt to evolving patient needs. I poses expertise in patient assessment and medication administration, along with compassionate care and reliability.
