What I'm looking for

I seek a pediatric nursing role focused on critical care or procedural sedation within a collaborative, family-centered team that supports professional development, precepting, and high standards for patient safety.

I am a Registered Nurse specializing in pediatric intensive care, emergency, and procedural sedation with experience across PICU, pediatric ED, and outpatient sedation settings. I focus on delivering family-centered education and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to provide safe, evidence-based care.

I completed a pediatric critical care new-grad program and preceptorship, served as a relief charge nurse managing an on-shift team of eight, and have provided care for burn, trauma, and medically complex pediatric patients. I perform bedside monitoring for procedures (MRI, EEG, CT, X‑ray), assist with biopsies and lumbar punctures, and maintain proficiency in EMR (EPIC) and Microsoft Office.

I hold core life-support and pediatric certifications and prioritize time management, clinical evaluation via telephone, and multidisciplinary communication. I am committed to mentorship, improving clinical processes, and continuing professional growth in pediatric critical care and sedation.
