About Gi rn acm

Gi rn acm has 7 years experience as a BSN and specializes in Endoscopy.

Started off as a new grad in PICU then after a few months moved to a med Surg unit for my sanity. After about one year of med/Surg I worked in a clinic for a year as I contemplated going back to school for my masters. Then after a year and not deciding to go back to school for I decided to look for a more challenging and something different. That's how I ended up in the endoscopy unit. I've been there for about 2 years and think I have found my long term job
