What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role in a supportive environment that values professional growth and patient-centered care.

As a Registered Nurse with a strong commitment to patient care, I have honed my skills in various clinical settings, including neuro/trauma, infusion, and med-surg environments. My current role as a Charge Nurse on the Neuro/Trauma Floor at St. Vincent has allowed me to manage complex patient cases, advocate for nursing changes, and contribute to staff education and compliance efforts.

Previously, I served as the Director of Nursing at Alternatives Inc., where I led a diverse team, ensured compliance with healthcare regulations, and developed training materials to enhance staff competencies. My experience in the Infusion Center at Billings Clinic further solidified my expertise in administering chemotherapy and mentoring new nurses, fostering a supportive environment for patients and their families.
