Summary
Throughout my career as an ICU nurse, I have gained valuable experience in managing complex medical cases, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, and delivering high-quality patient care. I have developed a strong foundation in critical care nursing, which has equipped me with the ability to handle challenging situations with confidence and efficiency. However, I have always felt a calling towards women's health and believe that pursuing a specialization in this area will allow me to make a more significant impact on the lives of female patients.
