What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my rehab and long-term care experience—complex wound care, medication management, and rapid assessments—in a fast-paced environment that values interdisciplinary collaboration and patient advocacy.

I’m a Registered Nurse with a BSN, building my practice around compassionate, highly organized patient care. With over 2 years in skilled rehabilitation and long-term care, I bring strong critical thinking, rapid patient assessment, and patient advocacy to every shift.

At Otterbein Senior Living and Skilled Rehabilitation, I conducted daily assessments for 20+ post-acute patients with complex conditions including strokes, spinal injuries, post-surgical recovery, and trauma. I monitored vital signs to detect subtle deterioration early, coordinated timely physician notifications, and worked with PT/OT specialists and case managers to shape individualized rehab plans.

I’m also experienced in medication management and high-acuity interventions—administering medications and IV therapies to 20+ patients per shift, supporting wound management, and performing tracheostomy maintenance for rehab inpatients. As a nursing supervisor on the unit, I led patient education for self-care and recovery goals, ensured HIPAA-compliant documentation in electronic health records, and mentored junior staff to improve continuity and response time.
