Experienced Registered Nurse with 12+ years of bedside experience.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 12 years of bedside experience, I have honed my clinical skills and developed a strong commitment to providing safe and efficient patient care. My journey in nursing has been marked by my ability to work effectively within interdisciplinary teams, ensuring that every patient receives the highest standards of care. I thrive in dynamic environments where critical thinking and complex care coordination are essential.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various medical settings, including cardiothoracic surgical units and large monitored units. My role at UPMC Presbyterian allowed me to care for diverse patient populations, while my position at UPMC Montefiore further expanded my expertise in managing complex cases. I take pride in my ability to assess patient needs accurately and administer medications effectively, always prioritizing positive outcomes.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about mentoring and precepting new nurses, contributing to the development of future healthcare professionals. I believe that ongoing education and support are vital in our field, and I actively participate in initiatives such as the Wound Care Committee to enhance patient care practices.
