What I'm looking for

I am seeking an acute care nursing role (PCU/telemetry/medical-surgical) where I can apply clinical skills, lead teams, and continue professional development.

I am a registered nurse with extensive acute care experience in progressive care and medical-surgical settings, currently practicing at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center PCU. I perform comprehensive head-to-toe assessments, monitor telemetry and vital signs, and manage high-risk medication infusions and blood administration.

I have hands-on skills in IV insertion, EKG interpretation, tracheostomy and chest tube care, wound care, tube feeding, and placement of foley and NG tubes. I document care in EPIC and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate patient-focused interventions.

Previously I provided inpatient antepartum, labor and delivery, and medical-surgical nursing in Uganda, participating in evidence-based projects, simulation training, and post-operative and critical monitoring. I also worked as a CNA in home health, supporting activities of daily living and chronic care needs.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and current BLS and ACLS certifications. I bring leadership experience as Charge RN and Resource RN and a commitment to safe, compassionate care and continuous professional growth.
