What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative clinical role where I can provide high-quality, patient-centered care, grow clinically, and contribute as a reliable team member.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with nine years of diverse acute-care experience across PCU, Med-Surg, Neuro, Ortho, ICU, Oncology, and observation units. I hold a BSN and certifications in BLS and ACLS and have worked both bedside and in virtual/remote nursing roles.

I collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to deliver patient-centered care, perform admissions and discharges, medication reviews, rounding, trauma screenings, and discharge teaching, and I have supported COVID-19 patient care. I have experience managing typical caseloads of 4–5 patients and working on units with capacities up to 43 beds.

I bring proven reliability as a float-pool and unit nurse, strong patient advocacy, and a commitment to building rapport with patients, families, and staff to ensure high-quality clinical outcomes.
