What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative healthcare role where I can provide direct patient care, support medication management, supervise staff or precept new nurses, and contribute to accurate documentation and safe, patient-centered outcomes.

I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive experience across ambulatory behavioral health, geriatric long-term care, urology, and inpatient medical/surgical settings. I consistently deliver hands-on patient care, perform assessments, administer medications (including IV), and document care accurately in electronic records.

Across multiple organizations I have coordinated with physicians and pharmacies to ensure medication access and accuracy, managed staffing for resident care units, and assisted with procedures such as cystoscopies and biopsies. I have triaged patients, monitored vital signs, and prepared labs and test results.

I am proficient with clinical software including Epic, NextGen, PointClickCare, EMAR and UroChart, and I bring validated skills in phlebotomy, IV therapy, CPR/AED, and non-violent intervention. I also serve as a preceptor and have supervised and oriented new nursing staff.

I seek to contribute dependable clinical skills, strong communication, and organized documentation practices to a collaborative healthcare team focused on safe, patient-centered care.
