Debra Lane
@debralane
Compassionate healthcare professional with extensive nursing and transcription experience.
What I'm looking for
With a diverse background in healthcare, I have dedicated my career to providing exceptional patient care and support. My journey began as a Staff RN at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, where I honed my skills in critical care and chemotherapy administration. Over the years, I transitioned into various roles, including RN case manager at Aetna U.S. Healthcare, where I coordinated care for patients with catastrophic illnesses, ensuring they received the best possible treatment and support.
In addition to my nursing experience, I have worked as a medical transcriptionist specializing in Hematology-Oncology and Radiation Oncology. My ability to manage multiple accounts and deadlines, coupled with my typing speed of 100 words per minute, has allowed me to excel in this field. Most recently, I served as a caregiver, providing compassionate support to individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism, further deepening my commitment to patient-centered care.
