Background

About Erin Penaranda

I am a proud graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I recently completed my Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) at Roseman University of Health Sciences in Henderson, NV to begin my career as a Registered Nurse.Before nursing, I spent over 2.5 years as a Lead Medical Assistant at Thomas Dermatology, where I gained extensive clinical experience and learned the importance of patient advocacy, teamwork, and efficiency in providing quality care. My background has given me a strong foundation in both the technical and interpersonal sides of healthcare—skills I now bring into my nursing practice.As a new graduate nurse, I’m especially passionate about pediatric and critical care nursing, with a particular interest in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). I’m drawn to environments that challenge me to think critically, communicate clearly, and provide compassionate, family-centered care during the moments that matter most.I’m eager to continue growing in this profession, learning from experienced mentors, and making a lasting impact on the health and well-being of my community.Above all, I believe that every human being has a right to efficient, quality and fair healthcare.I look forward to connecting with you!
