What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an RN role where I can combine acute care with utilization review—using Interqual/MCG, CPT/clinical documentation expertise, and discharge planning to support medically appropriate coverage and excellent patient outcomes.

I’m a Registered Nurse with 9+ years of experience spanning acute care and utilization review, with a strong focus on Utilization review and Medical Necessity Determination. I’m proficient in Interqual and MCG criteria, CPT coding review, and clinical documentation analysis, translating findings into clear recommendations for coverage decisions.

In bedside roles, I deliver compassionate, safety-first care through discharge planning, care coordination, and interdisciplinary collaboration. My experience includes orthopedics (medsurge), wound care, pain management, and advanced nursing procedures such as Foley catheter insertion/care, bladder irrigation, peritoneal dialysis, blood transfusion administration, and NGT insertion/management—always guided by strong clinical judgment and critical thinking.
