Daphne Payton
@daphnepayton
Licensed practical nurse specializing in telehealth, care coordination, and wound management.
What I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with over 20 years of diverse healthcare experience across acute care, long-term care, corrections, wound management, and assisted living. I hold a compact LPN license and current BLS certification, and I graduated from Ivy Tech Community College.
I have extensive experience with telehealth platforms and multiple EMR systems (PCC, Next Gen, Caremerge, Matrix, Wellsky, KIPU), delivering remote patient monitoring, virtual education, and real-time documentation. I adapt quickly to new systems and shifting care settings, providing dependable support in detox, LTAC, and LTC environments.
I have led teams as a charge nurse and director of nursing, supervised CNAs and QMAs, managed medications for complex populations in corrections, and coordinated care transitions and tele-consults. My strengths include independent decision-making, crisis management, and fostering clear communication with patients, families, and providers.
I am seeking a remote nursing role focused on telehealth triage, case management, or virtual wellness monitoring where I can apply my clinical experience, strong documentation skills, and commitment to patient-centered care to improve outcomes and support interdisciplinary teams.
