Compassionate registered nurse with extensive trauma and critical care experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated registered nurse with a strong foundation in trauma and critical care, currently working at UVA Culpeper Medical Center. My journey in healthcare began with a Bachelor of Science in Health Services Administration, followed by an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing. I have honed my skills through various roles, including as a Charge RN, where I supervise daily operations and ensure optimal patient care.
Throughout my career, I have developed advanced knowledge in trauma, resuscitation, and patient stabilization. My experience as a Paramedic has equipped me with the ability to perform life-saving interventions and triage patients effectively. I take pride in educating patients and their families about care plans and preventative health, ensuring they feel supported and informed during their healthcare journey.
In addition to my clinical skills, I am committed to professional development and have participated in nursing governance. I hold multiple certifications, including BLS, ACLS, and PALS, which reflect my dedication to maintaining high standards of patient care. I am eager to continue growing in my nursing career and contribute to a team that values collaboration and excellence in healthcare.
