I’m a Registered Nurse specializing in utilization, case management, and behavioral health care for high-acuity populations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Nurse with expertise in acute, chronic, and behavioral health care, including psychiatric and substance use disorder management. I focus on clinical triage, care coordination, and telehealth/remote delivery to support safe, compliant outcomes for diverse, high-acuity, and underserved populations.
Since 10/2022, I’ve delivered acute and chronic nursing care for adolescent youth under court-ordered custody, ensuring clinical and regulatory compliance. I perform independent nursing assessments and emergency responses, complete comprehensive admissions and diagnostic testing, and lead quarterly education groups that strengthen medication adherence, hygiene, and safety. I collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to develop individualized care plans and liaise with parents, legal guardians, and external providers while documenting in EHR/EMR systems.
In my inpatient psychiatric roles, I provide short-term psychiatric nursing care for adults with mental health challenges, prioritizing patient safety and regulatory compliance. I conduct admissions and individualized care planning, manage behavioral crises using non-violent therapeutic interventions, administer medications and vaccinations including long-acting psychiatric medications, and document accurately while coordinating with psychiatric technicians and the care team. I also facilitate psychoeducation groups to support emotional wellness and healthy coping skills.
Earlier, I provided patient-centered nursing care in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) research protocols, performing phone and virtual triage and managing withdrawal and acute care using CIWA and C-SSRS tools. My background also includes addiction counseling and public health COVID-19 testing, screenings, and vaccination programs—experiences that sharpen my patient education, crisis awareness, and case management mindset.
