Dedicated registered nurse with extensive critical care experience.
What I'm looking for
As a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of South Carolina Aiken, I have cultivated a diverse skill set in critical care and interventional radiology. My journey in nursing began in 2013, and since then, I have dedicated myself to providing exceptional patient care across various settings, including intensive care units and trauma centers.
Currently, I work at Wellstar MCG as an Interventional Radiology Nurse, where I provide comprehensive pre, post, and intra-procedure care for patients of all ages. My experience includes administering moderate sedation and assisting with a wide range of procedures, showcasing my ability to thrive in high-pressure environments. I have also held roles as a travel nurse, gaining valuable insights and skills from multiple healthcare facilities, which has enriched my nursing practice.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my commitment to excellence, receiving awards such as the Daisy Award for Best Nursing Unit and the Excellence in Client Care Award. I am passionate about continuous learning and professional development, and I strive to advocate for my patients while ensuring the highest standards of care.
