Summary
I’m a student nurse with real experience in drawing blood, patient care, and health education both in clinical settings and out in the community. I’ve worked closely with clients from all backgrounds, making sure they feel calm, respected, and safe during procedures. My background in community health taught me to build trust quickly, while my nursing training has prepared me to follow strict safety protocols and handle samples with care. I’m passionate about delivering professional, gentle care and being part of a team that puts patients first.
