What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a surgical/perioperative RN role where I can apply OR and assessment skills, mentor staff, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and pursue additional certifications for professional growth.

I am a registered nurse with 3+ years of experience specializing in perioperative and surgical care. I provide skilled assessments, accurate medical documentation, and ensure compliance with clinical standards to advocate for patient safety.

I have worked as a circulating surgical RN across multiple specialties, assisted anesthesia with intubation and line placement, and maintained sterile fields to support optimal surgical outcomes. I coordinated care between providers and case management, and mentored new staff on AORN guidelines.

I hold BLS and ACLS certifications and am proficient with various EMR systems, Microsoft Word, and Excel. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and eager to pursue additional certifications to expand my clinical capabilities and support high-quality perioperative care.
