Registered Nurse focused on calm, compassionate care, triage, and coordination in fast-paced settings.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated Registered Nurse (RN) with experience delivering direct patient care, triage, and care coordination in fast-paced environments. I stay calm under pressure, communicate with empathy, and support patients and families through difficult, high-stress situations.
In my current role as Charge Nurse at Northside Glancy Rehab, I’m accountable for adult and geriatric nursing care in an acute setting. I evaluate patient needs, develop and manage individualized care, coordinate through a multidisciplinary approach, and document care in Cerner while serving as a resource for staff from admission through discharge.
Previously, as Director of Nursing at Jucil Home Care, I supervised and reviewed nursing staff to maintain a high standard of care. I led recruiting, hiring, and training, provided training in PCC/point click, advocated for staff concerns, and managed patient care policies, education, and medical records while coordinating with doctors and other specialists.
At Piedmont Eastside Medical Hospital, I worked as Unit Relief Charge Nurse, providing oversight for 44 patients and up to 6 staff. I delivered and delegated medical-surgical care, supervised RN/LPN/PCT teams, precepted and oriented new nurses, protected patient confidentiality, and managed care from admission to discharge. Earlier, as a Staff RN, I supported bedside care, IV therapy, wound care, medication administration, and HIPAA compliance using Meditech while responding to emergencies with timely, level-headed action.
