With this understanding I have gained alongside the knowledge I already have, allows me to be innovative and structured.
I can be a great asset to your company. Over the course of my 18-year career in the medical field 3 years as an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and 15 years as a CNA, I have developed a skill set directly relevant to the position you are hiring for, including LTC, behavioral health, acute care facility, home health care, ambulatory care, and assisted living. Overall, I have consistently demonstrated teamwork, multitasking, and creative thinking abilities in every aspect of my certified LPN role. I invite you to review my detailed achievements in the attached resume.
