Work & education · nursing in progress

Healthcare is the focus. Everything else helps.

I’m a California Certified Nursing Assistant and BSN candidate with direct-care experience in skilled nursing and sub-acute care. Before healthcare, I worked in business banking, marketing, leadership, and web projects.

Care starts with paying attention. The routine tasks matter. So does noticing when something feels off—and speaking up.

The quick version.

Graduation, licensure plans, availability, and location—up front.

BSN completion

April 2027

Nightingale College, concept-based BSN with supervised clinical rotations.

NCLEX-RN

Targeting May–June 2027

I plan to take the NCLEX-RN in May or June 2027 after graduation.

Seeking

New-graduate RN residency

My skilled-nursing background lines up most naturally with medical-surgical or telemetry, while I remain open to other units with structured new-graduate support. Night shift and rotating schedules are fine.

Target availability

Summer 2027

Following RN licensure. Based in the East Bay, California, and open to roles across the Bay Area and Sacramento region.

What the 1,000+ hours include

The 1,000+ figure refers to paid CNA bedside work. Supervised BSN clinical hours are documented separately through Nightingale College and are not included in that number.

What I’m doing in healthcare now.

Paid CNA work and supervised BSN clinical training make up the core of my current experience.

The work is practical and personal. Help with the task in front of you, protect dignity, and report what changes.

I also built a multi-route pharmacology practice tool with answer rationales to turn repeated review into something interactive and usable.

Banking and marketing still show up in how I work.

Banking taught me to handle sensitive information carefully, document what happened, and explain unfamiliar processes without talking down to people. Marketing and web work taught me to ask what someone actually needs and turn an unclear request into something useful.

  • Ask focused questions before proposing a solution
  • Write down the details so the next person has context
  • Stay calm when a request crosses teams or systems
  • Own the follow-up instead of assuming someone else will

Different setting, transferable habits. Sensitive information, documentation, follow-through, and clear communication mattered there too.

The jobs that shaped how I work.

These are the roles most relevant to the way I work today.

Healthcare

Direct patient care

Skilled-nursing experience centered on safety, ADLs, mobility, observation, dignity, communication, and dependable shift routines.

Business banking

PNC Bank

Supported relationship and portfolio work for business clients, used Salesforce and banking systems, and gained exposure to credit, treasury, merchant services, underwriting, and healthcare banking.

Digital work

Web development & marketing

Worked with website, advertising, content, and project-management platforms to improve digital presence and execute client-facing work.

Leadership & service

Customer-facing foundations

Retail, food service, events, student leadership, and tutoring built practical habits in service recovery, communication, training, presentation, and teamwork.

Nursing is the current degree. Business and Japanese came first.

The combination matters: science and clinical learning sit beside formal study in business, marketing, Japanese language and culture, behavioral science, and the humanities.
