What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and compassionate Registered Nurse with over 12 years of progressive experience in various clinical settings, including Medical-Surgical, Telemetry, PCU/Stepdown, ICU, and Case Management. My expertise lies in utilization management, evidence-based reviews, and care coordination across interdisciplinary teams. I have a proven ability to optimize care transitions and support effective discharge planning, collaborating closely with medical directors and case managers to drive quality outcomes in inpatient settings.
Throughout my career, I have adeptly utilized EMR systems such as EPIC and Meditech, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while delivering high-quality patient care. My experience as a remote RN has further enhanced my skills in telephonic and virtual patient engagement, allowing me to effectively educate and advocate for patients. I am now seeking to leverage my clinical expertise in a remote Inpatient Care Management RN role, focused on improving outcomes and advancing health equity.
