United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated registered nurse with ten years of direct patient care across emergency care, memory care, surgical services, and urology, committed to compassionate advocacy and strong clinical judgment.
In emergency settings I performed rapid assessments, crisis stabilization, telemetry monitoring, and coordinated interdisciplinary care, achieving a transfer goal reduction for STEMI recognition and intervention wait times by over 75%.
I have experience initiating prior authorizations, conducting medical necessity reviews, and working with payers to improve approval processes, supported by hands-on clinical experience in perioperative and primary care environments.
I bring proven leadership mentoring new staff, improving workflows, and enhancing patient safety—backed by certifications including RN licensure, BLS/ACLS/PALS, and NIH Stroke Scale rapid recognition training.
