Summary
I am a junior nursing student at Illinois State University, Mennonite College of Nursing. I have experience in child care, as well as in a healthcare environment, as a receptionist at a nursing home. I am passionate about my future career as a registered nurse with a particular interest in labor and delivery, NICU, and pediatrics. Though I would love experience in any department.
