Compassionate registered nurse dedicated to patient care and education.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated registered nurse with extensive experience in various healthcare settings, including cardiology, geriatrics, and surgical care. My journey in nursing began in the Philippines, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and passed the Philippine Nursing Board Exam. Since relocating to the United States, I have continued to expand my expertise, particularly in anticoagulation therapy and patient education.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to providing high-quality patient care. At NMH Bluhm Cardiovascular, I educate patients and families on anticoagulation therapy, ensuring they understand their treatment plans. My experience in the ICU and telemetry units has equipped me with the skills to respond effectively to life-saving situations and manage complex patient needs. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with healthcare teams to enhance patient outcomes and promote holistic health.
