What I'm looking for

I am looking for a nursing position that values patient care excellence and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with a Master of Science in Nursing, specializing in Leadership in Health Care Systems. My journey in nursing began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and I have since accumulated extensive experience in clinical care coordination and social services. My commitment to nursing excellence is reflected in my GPA of 3.97 and my recognition as Rookie of the Year at New York Presbyterian Queens.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed patient care in various settings, including emergency rooms and inpatient units. I excel in developing tailored discharge care plans, ensuring optimal patient outcomes, and coordinating post-acute care services. My proficiency in clinical decision support tools like Interqual and my certification in Patient Review Instrument (PRI) further enhance my ability to provide comprehensive care management.

As a preceptor for new RN Care Managers, I take pride in sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I am passionate about addressing the needs of vulnerable populations, including those with substance abuse disorders and undomiciled patients. My goal is to leverage my skills and experiences to continue improving patient care outcomes and contribute to nursing excellence.
