What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team-oriented nursing role where I can deliver patient centered care with BLS/ACLS, adapt across Telemetry, PCU, Med/Surg, and perioperative settings, and grow through ongoing education and high-quality outcomes.

I’m a Registered Nurse with a versatile 4.5 years of clinical experience, offering superior patient centered care. I’m adaptable, team-oriented, and committed to ongoing educational opportunities for high-quality patient outcomes.

Most recently, I’m providing flexible and reliable care as a MemorialCare Float Pool RN across surrounding MemorialCare hospitals including Long Beach, Saddleback, and Orange. I float between units including PCU, Telemetry, Med/Surg, and Observation, and I hold Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support.

Before that, I supported the Austin area at St. David’s Hospitals through the Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Austin Market Float Pool, with acuity ranging from PCU to Med Surg, plus Pre-Op and PACU. I’ve also delivered community centered care on Telemetry, including education and acute treatment for common diagnoses such as heart failure, diabetes, and pneumonia, and I’ve used Stroke Scale (American Heart Association). In addition, I’ve provided care across a variety of settings including ICU, IMC, ER holds, Surgical Trauma, Tele/Neuro, Oncology, and Med Tele, including work supporting Stop The Bleed and trauma-focused education, and I earned my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Texas A&M University (2021).
