What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values patient-centered care, offers opportunities for professional growth, and fosters a collaborative work environment.

I am a seasoned nursing professional with over 9 years of experience in women's health, pediatric, and newborn care within acute hospital settings. My clinical knowledge is complemented by strong interpersonal skills and technical abilities, allowing me to manage all aspects of patient care effectively. I am dedicated to improving patient outcomes through comprehensive assessments, EMR charting, medication administration, and health education.

Throughout my career, I have served as a preceptor to new employees, orienting them to proper techniques, care standards, and safety protocols. My role as a charge RN has honed my ability to triage high volumes of deliveries, ensuring that each patient receives the qualified care they deserve. I am committed to maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements and continuously seek to enhance patient care through quality improvement initiatives.
