JASMINE HOWARD
@jasminehoward
Compassionate clinical laboratory and patient-care professional with strong technical skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated clinical laboratory and patient-care professional with experience in dialysis, hospital clinical support, and diagnostic laboratory environments. I have performed phlebotomy, EKGs, specimen processing, dialysis access needle insertion, vital-sign monitoring, and multiple waived and non-serologic laboratory tasks.
My background includes roles at Dialysis Clinic, Quest Diagnostics, transfusion services, and several hospital departments where I maintained inventory, performed QA/QC duties, supported patient comfort and safety, and documented clinical changes accurately. I hold certifications including ARC/CPR/FirstAid/AED and completed a Medical Assisting Management program.
I deliver reliable, patient-centered care, prioritize sterile technique and compliance, and organize workloads to meet clinical priorities. I seek opportunities where I can apply my hands-on clinical skills and laboratory experience to improve patient outcomes and support efficient clinical operations.
