Ability to implement proper nursing interventions & follow-up

Furthermore, acknowledging We care to be deemed as a teaching Hospital goes a long way when considering my education. Completing my clinical experience as an LPN and RN at We care North, We care Memorial & We care South gives me an edge regarding familiarity with equipment, software, and procedures. Additionally, We care has been ranked top hospital in South Florida by FindTheBest, I can conclude that your Hospital makes a great impact on all aspects of healthcare, down to all who come across this facility, such as employees, patients and students.

Overall it's good, but a too long.

And watch the superlatives. Avid? Exceptional? Be prepared to justify those terms in an interview. Also, 3 years is not anywhere close to being an extensive nursing career.

Remember, you want to sell, not oversell yourself.
