What I'm looking for
I’m a Compassionate and dedicated Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) with over 15 years of healthcare experience, including supervisory roles in pediatric and family practice environments. I lead clinical teams, coordinate care, and optimize workflow while staying focused on patient safety and collaborative service.
I bring pediatric patient care expertise in assessments, immunizations, triage, and medication administration. I’m also certified in IV Therapy and CPR/BLS, and I support efficiency through strong documentation and EHR proficiency using Epic and eClinicalWorks.
