Compassionate Registered Nurse (BSN) experienced in Med-Surg and dialysis care.
What I'm looking for
I am a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Oklahoma, conferred December 2021. I transitioned into nursing after a 20+ year career in other fields to pursue personal fulfillment and patient-centered care.
I have worked as a Med-Surg RN in Trauma/Oncology at a Level I trauma hospital and have provided dialysis nursing at Fresenius Medical Care, performing assessments, cannulation, machine preparation, medication administration, and patient education.
At Integris Edmond Hospital I served as a Registered Nurse 1 and previously as a Nurse Tech 4, gaining strong clinical skills including IV starts, lab draws, phlebotomy, vital signs monitoring, bladder scans, catheterization, and hands-on patient care through an externship.
I am dedicated, compassionate, and teach patients and families about diagnoses and medications while planning long-term care needs; my nursing GPA was 3.74 and I have been recognized for strong work ethic and reliability.
