Trisha Palma

Graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from Silliman University, Philippines during 2009. Passed the Philippine nursing licensure examination in 2010 and received my professional license as a Registered Nurse in Nevada, USA on February 16, 2023. During my 2+ years clinical rotations, I gained experience in OR, labor and delivery, ER, med-surg, and community health. I was able to implement the clinical duties I learned during the course of my education.

While employed as Home Health Nurse for 23 months, I was commended for proficiently handling difficult situations with patients and their family members. Some of my key achievements have been:

• Evaluating patient’s medical conditions and successfully managed a caseload of up to 8-9 patients daily.
• Developing and directing a rotational system to manage the care of patients.
• Gaining recognition as a dedicated, self-motivated, and reliable nurse.

My commitment to providing compassionate care and my ability to adapt to the unique needs of each patient make me a strong candidate for your team.
