April Gilbert
@aprilgilbert
I am an LPN transitioning to RN, focused on patient-centered care.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with clinical experience across family practice, home health, occupational health and hospice care, and I serve as a preceptor for LPN students.
I perform vitals, point-of-care testing, EKGs, venipunctures, suture and staple removal, medication compounding, wound dressing and tracheostomy care while managing medication rooms and supply controls.
I hold a Practical Nurse diploma (2016), BLS certification, and an Associate of Science in Nursing from the University of Rio Grande (Graduated: August 2025); my resume lists Registered Nurse (Pending Boards 2025) as my next step.
I am seeking a patient-centered clinical role where I can continue precepting, expand RN responsibilities, and contribute reliable, ethically driven nursing care within a collaborative team.
