What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused clinical role where I can apply hands-on nursing skills, support multidisciplinary teams, grow in pediatric and community health, and contribute to quality improvement in a supportive, learning-oriented environment.

I am a compassionate, clinically competent nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and practical experience delivering patient-centered care across hospital, clinic and home-based settings. I focus on safety, dignity and measurable outcomes for patients and families.

I have developed and implemented care and treatment plans, managed emergencies, and coordinated multidisciplinary care while administering medications via oral, inhalation, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intravenous routes. I perform procedures including nasogastric tube insertions, tracheostomy care, oxygen therapy, spirometry and blood glucose testing.

In outpatient and community settings I have provided pediatric assessments, vaccinations, health education, appointment management and medical insurance billing. I maintain thorough electronic documentation and support continuity of care through clear communication and caregiver education.

I also volunteer on environmental health and community outreach campaigns, and I bring leadership, teamwork and a commitment to continuous learning—including basic life support and computer competency—to every role.
