Summary

I worked 2 years in patient transport. I was able to move around the whole hospital and met a lot of amazing teammates and patients. I moved into the Emergency room and have been there since. I love everything about it. I have acquired so many skills in my almost 3 years in the Emergency Room. Anything from labs/blood draw, ekg's, foleys, to cpr. I look forward to continuing my career in the medical field.
