About Desiree

Hi there! I am a Licensed Vocational Nurse with about 2 years of experience working as an LVN and 10+ years as a Certified Nurse Assistant. I am currently back in school obtaining my Bachelor's in nursing and should be graduating January 2023. I love the medical field and have been working in healthcare in different capacities including pharmacy for a long time. My most recent adventure was working in the mental health portion of a correctional facility which taught me patience and how to handle high stress situations. Ultimately, I just enjoy helping others and take great pride in taking care of my patients.
