Ellice Nielsen
@ellicenielsen
Dedicated occupational therapist with extensive clinical experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate occupational therapist with a Master's degree from Gannon University, where I graduated with a GPA of 3.9. My journey in healthcare has been driven by a commitment to improving the quality of life for my patients. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various skilled nursing facilities, providing comprehensive evaluations and effective treatment interventions tailored to each patient's needs.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with patients and their families, ensuring they understand treatment techniques and adaptive equipment. My experience spans multiple counties, where I have developed and implemented care plans that include incontinence retraining programs and low vision programs. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with interdisciplinary teams, ensuring our patients receive the best possible care.
As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to leverage my clinical skills and experience in a remote position that allows me to continue making a positive impact in the lives of others. I am dedicated to lifelong learning and professional growth, always striving to enhance my knowledge and skills in occupational therapy.
