I am a well rounded individual and a dedicated professional nurse. I am dependable in the work place, keen to details, punctual in work timetable & targets, organized, conscientious and responsible. I am easy to get along with, caring, flexible, adaptable, patient, efficient and skillful. Qualities that a professional nurse must have. What I enjoy about being a nurse is the touch of healing I impart to all of my patients, be it with different age and race. The uniqueness of having the tender loving care of a Filipino nurse gives magic and fulfillment to a patient which is happiness for me. These innate Asian traits of being patient, caring and loving that I posses, culture wise, can be beneficial to both professional colleagues and patients alike.
