What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 16 years of experience in assessing patient health, maintaining medical records, and providing quality care to a diverse range of patients. My career has been focused on occupational health, where I have successfully promoted and enhanced the health and wellbeing of employees in various work environments. Currently, I am working at A.T. Augusta Military Medical Center as an Occupational Health Nurse, where I perform health assessments and triage work-related injuries, ensuring compliance with OSHA regulations.
Throughout my career, I have held various nursing roles, including positions at the United States Postal Service and Neighborhood Health. My experience includes conducting pre-employment exams, managing hearing conservation programs, and providing first aid and triage care. I take pride in my ability to educate employees on health and safety practices, and I have been actively involved in program management and staff training, including serving as a preceptor for new nurses.
My commitment to patient care is complemented by my strong critical thinking skills and attention to detail. I am passionate about improving workplace health standards and am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging Occupational Health Nurse role at ATAMMC.
