Registered nurse delivering compassionate, evidence-based patient care with strong clinical skills.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Nurse focused on delivering care comfort and compassion to patients in need, with a clear drive for growth and advancement. My clinical background spans hospital Med Surg, hospice, and homecare settings, supported by long-standing hands-on patient care experience.
In medical-surgical and per-diem roles, I handle triage, follow up MD orders, administer prescribed medications, and maintain accurate patient records and documentation. I provide advanced bedside care such as TPN nutrition, catheterization, tracheostomy care, wound vac and wound dressing, colostomy care, enema administration, and consistent vital-sign monitoring.
I also bring patient-family support experience from Greater New York Hospice and homecare work, where I manage comfort-focused care including tracheostomy care and GT feeding/total parenteral nutrition support. I’m comfortable training and supervising nursing students and overseeing CNAs and assignments, and I ensure services are delivered in line with CDC/state regulations and company policies—whether providing vaccination support with cold-chain awareness or coordinating patient registration and pre-authorization processes.
