What I'm looking for

I seek patient-focused nursing roles in clinics, home health, or long-term care where I can provide hands-on care, patient education, and contribute to efficient clinic operations.

I am a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive experience in long-term care, pediatrics, home care, specialty clinics, and outpatient offices. I consistently provide comprehensive patient care—administering medications and injections (including G-tube), performing venipuncture and specimen collection, assisting in minor procedures, and educating patients and families.

Throughout my career I have supported clinic operations by triaging calls, scheduling procedures (including endoscopy and colonoscopy), completing prior authorizations, and supervising aides when needed. I hold an active Practical Nurse License and BLS certification and bring reliability, strong communication, and solid clinical and clerical skills to every role.
