Blake O'Donnell

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with four years of clinical experience, specializing in patient-centered care and advocacy. My journey in nursing has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my Dean’s list recognition and multiple Daisy Award nominations. I hold a non-restricted State of Iowa nursing license and am compliant with BLS, ACLS, and Mandatory Reporter requirements.

In my current role at MercyOne Medical Center, I provide exceptional care in the Cardiac Surgical ICU, where I manage daily patient assignments and collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams. My responsibilities include medication titration, procedural assistance, and patient education. I have also taken on leadership roles, such as unit charge nurse, where I oversee patient assignments and ensure compliance with hospital policies.

Previously, at Iowa Dermatology, I gained valuable experience in the insurance sector, acting as a liaison between patients and insurance companies. I coordinated care and provided education on medication usage and therapies. My diverse skill set, including excellent communication, critical thinking, and adaptability, allows me to thrive in fast-paced environments while ensuring the highest quality of patient care.
