Santana Cruz

I completed over 700 clinical hours across ICU, Emergency

Department, Telemetry, Cardiac PCU, NICU, Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, Oncology, and

Behavioral Health settings. These experiences strengthened my clinical judgment,

communication skills, and ability to remain calm under pressure while providing compassionate,

patient-centered care.

I am currently working as a Registered Nurse in a skilled nursing facility, where I have continued to build my assessment, time management, prioritization, and patient care skills while caring for a diverse resident population.

In addition to my nursing education, I bring six years of prior healthcare experience as a Medical

Assistant in urgent care and immediate care settings. This background helped me develop strong teamwork, patient communication, and adaptability in fast-paced clinical environments.

I was also honored to receive the Nightingale Award during nursing school, which further motivated my commitment to professional growth and compassionate patient care
