What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a healthcare role that uses my education and RN experience, especially ER/emergency response and triage work, in a fast-paced environment where I can deliver safe, compassionate patient care.

I’m a Registered Nurse with training across nursing and medical assisting, backed by BLS, PALS, ACLS, and NIHS (2023) certification and Pharmacy Technician certification. I focus on safe, organized care—combining clinical procedures, strong communication, and patient education to support every patient encounter.

In correctional health nursing, I administered medications and treatments following doctor’s orders, assisted physicians in minor procedures, and performed focused assessments. I handled wound care and supported emergency assistance as part of the care team, building confidence in high-need, fast-paced environments.

Across ER and travel roles, I’ve developed broad emergency and trauma experience, including staff, trauma, and charge ER exposure. I’ve worked in ER nursing, med/surge, med tele, float, and emergency response settings—bringing dependable triage, telephone triage, EKG, lab draws, and catheter/pharmacy-related care skills to every assignment.
