Jelina Tolbert
@jelinatolbert
Compassionate registered nurse delivering critical care and emergency expertise to improve outcomes through rapid assessment.
What I'm looking for
I’m a compassionate, dedicated Registered Nurse with critical care experience across diverse patient backgrounds, including the most critically ill. I focus on fast, accurate assessment and calm, evidence-based care when acuity is high.
Since July 2022, I’ve worked as a Registered Nurse in Emergency and have managed a variety of patient acuities end-to-end. I help maintain strong patient throughput with discharge times averaging <20 minutes and consistently achieve >90% pain reassessments, while collaborating with ER professionals to support effective care decisions.
My clinical approach is grounded in education and disciplined triage—triaging patients based on acuity level to enable prompt intervention and appropriate placement. I also apply my skills in condition assessment on patient arrival during the initial phases of acute illness or trauma, and I monitor patients while alerting physicians to changes in status.
I’m highly proficient in electronic health records, including Meditech and Chart pad. I also bring advanced emergency competencies such as airway management with ETTs and tracheostomies, assisting with emergent intubation and bedside bronchoscopies, titrating sedation and analgesic drips, and monitoring ICU patients for sepsis and hemodynamic instability—supported by certifications including TNCC, PALS, ENPC, ENPC, BLS, and ACLS.
