Registered nurse combining Med-Surg care with EHR and quality improvement.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Med-Surg Registered Nurse (RN, BSN) focused on medication administration, patient safety, and patient-centered care. I perform complete physical assessments, develop nursing care plans, provide education to patients and families, and support clinical evaluations—from capillary blood glucose tests to monitoring and interventions during adverse drug reactions. I also handle invasive and device-related care, including peripheral venous puncture, IV/SC/IM/intravesical medication routes, nasal/oral/tracheal suctioning, PICC/central line handling, dressing changes, and prevention and care for extravasation.
Alongside direct care, I bring strong Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Health IT support experience. Since 2019, I have supported nurses across a hospital network by managing clinical documentation (clinical progress notes, scales and index records, vital signs charting), troubleshooting clinical systems, training healthcare professionals on workflows, and maintaining and optimizing Electronic Patient Record (EPR/EHR) settings. I contribute to multidisciplinary meetings to define and update clinical protocols and resolve incidents through ServiceNow ticketing, earning recognition as a top performer for 02 years through leadership and clinical expertise.
