Registered Nurse at Oneida Community Health Center providing telephone triage and timely care guidance; seeking an alternative setting.
What I'm looking for
At Oneida Community Health Center, I assess and prioritize patient needs in a high-volume triage setting. I provide telephone guidance on symptom management and medication questions, escalating to emergency services when needed.
At Bellin Health Digestive Health, I cared for patients with acute and chronic GI conditions, including Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, and GI bleeds. I supported physician rounds and educated patients on dietary modifications and medication regimens.
In my Registered Nurse roles at Bellin Health Ortho/Neuro, I provided care for post-op orthopedic and neurological patients, including neuro assessments and complex pain regimens. I coordinated with PT/OT and case management on discharge planning and recovery goals.
My experience also includes assisting with endoscopies and other procedures, administering IV therapies and blood transfusions, and using electronic health records including EPIC, Athena, Keona, and Medisoft. I hold ACLS and BLS certifications and have received seven Daisy Award recognitions for nursing care.
