@christinuzomah
Perioperative Registered Nurse with 10+ years leading surgical scrub, circulating, and patient-safety-focused care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 10 years of progressive perioperative experience across top-tier academic medical centers in the Washington, DC region. I’ve built deep expertise in surgical scrub and circulating roles across orthopedic, oncology, general surgery, and total joint replacement programs, consistently maintaining strict sterile technique and perioperative safety protocols.
I lead clinical teams to coordinate complex intraoperative care, develop individualized intraoperative patient care plans, and ensure continuous monitoring and documentation of patient status. In clinical leadership roles, I’ve served as an advisor, resource, and preceptor—supporting onboarding and skills development while fostering accountability and clinical excellence.
I’ve also helped launch and coordinate a new total joint replacement program, establishing workflows and nursing standards and delivering comprehensive perioperative nursing care that includes patient and family education. I’m committed to evidence-based, patient-centered care in high-acuity surgical environments, from Level I trauma settings to fast-paced ambulatory operations.
