I was a graduate of Social Work Bachelor before coming to US. This degree allowed me to grow and develop into a competent and professional of nursing. Also it helped me becoming a leader in the professional practice setting by applying my interpersonal skills when dealing with different people, different personalities and different backgrounds. While on clinical rotations I have assisted with the development and implementation of projects to address local communities in need.
