What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my nursing skills while focusing on patient advocacy and care coordination.

With 17 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, I have developed a strong work ethic and exceptional people skills. My journey in healthcare has allowed me to work in various settings, including hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, where I have honed my ability to communicate effectively with patients, families, and medical teams.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to providing compassionate care to vulnerable populations. My clinical skills include starting IVs, administering medications, performing assessments, and managing complex patient needs. I take pride in my ability to treat others with respect and empathy, ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved.

As I transition to focus on other aspects of patient care, I am eager to leverage my extensive nursing background to contribute to a team that values collaboration and patient-centered approaches. I am committed to continuous learning and growth in my professional journey.
