Required Questions

(answer EVERY question in this section)

1. Describe your career path to your current position. Include information about education and experiences.

After my basic high school education, I enrolled for college to pursue a nursing career for two years. However, as my interest lay in telenursing, this required additional training after acquiring the nursing license.

The further training includes specialized telemetry programs that were offered in a hospital setting before I sat for a certification exam, through the Critical Care Registered Nurse Exam (CCRN-E).
