BSN, RN Candidate

Compassionate Care.
Clinical Excellence.

De'Lisa Gaines, BSN, RN Candidate

I am an HRSA Nurse Corps Scholar and an Entry-Level Master of Science in Nursing candidate (BSN '26) with over 945 clinical hours and eight years of direct patient care experience. I am currently seeking a New Graduate Nurse Residency position where I can provide clinically excellent, whole-person care.

“Excellent care is built on small, consistent acts of kindness and competence.”

Core Nursing Philosophy

Holistic Presence

I look beyond a patient's immediate illness to see their strengths and support systems. Eight years of in-home care taught me that patients remember how you make them feel, and I carry that compassion into every shift.

Proactive Advocacy

Exemplary practice requires strong clinical skills, critical thinking, and courage. I do not shy away from difficult conversations or clinical problem-solving when patient safety and well-being are at stake.

Catalyst for Growth

I thrive on creating positive momentum. I step forward to help colleagues, embrace learning opportunities, and actively contribute to a supportive unit culture while pursuing my MSN-PMHP to serve vulnerable populations.
