What I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Vocational Nurse with extensive experience in home health, skilled nursing facilities, and quality assurance. I have led QAPI development, policy management, chart reviews, and compliance for Medicare-certified agencies while delivering direct patient care.
My clinical strengths include wound care management, Foley catheter insertion and care, medication administration and teaching, colostomy/ileostomy care, and IV/blood draw procedures. I consistently maintain accurate records in EMR systems and prioritize patient education for chronic conditions.
As a QA/Case Manager and charge nurse, I have overseen admissions, authorizations with insurance, DME ordering, discharge planning, and staff supervision. I actively participate in training, in-services, and community outreach to promote home health services and professional development.
I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth, holding certifications including LVN, BLS, CPR, Certified Case Manager, and IV/Blood Draw certification. I am ready to relocate and authorized to work in the US for any employer.
