Independence Whitnack, BSN, RN, PHN

I am a recent graduate from Biola University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Becoming a registered nurse has been a personally necessary journey and I look forward to the continual growth and fulfillment this career path will bring. Holistic care is my primary mission and bedside nursing is the quintessential opportunity to provide this care. My 350+ hours of clinical experience and years of restaurant experience have strengthened my closed-loop communication, prioritization, critical thinking, and time management skills. Currently, I am exploring my career options as I search for hospitals that focus their attention and resources on exceptional patient care through support of staff and continual policy updates rooted in evidence based practice. My bright future is characterized by making patients' present moments bright and their futures possible. I look forward to honing my skills, both clinical and therapeutic, at my future residency program.
