I am a graduate student working towards a Master of Science in Nursing to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have extensive experience working in psych, beginning as a licensed psychiatric technician and then as a registered nurse. I am now seeking education to provide a higher level of care as a provider. I also work a Per Diem job in a Med-Surg/Tele/Oncology unit to obtain and maintain nursing skills that will enhance my role as a Nurse Practitioner. In my nursing career, whether in psych or medical, I enjoy building genuine connections with patients while delivering high-quality care. In the spirit of holistic care, I build rapport with each patient under my care by giving them my full attention and attentive ear to obtain their trust during my interactions. I plan to continue this practice in a provider role.
