What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered nursing role that leverages my ambulatory, telehealth and critical-care experience, emphasizes evidence-based practice, care coordination, and offers professional growth in a collaborative team environment.

I am a registered nurse with broad experience in ambulatory care and critical care, currently working in OB/GYN triage and telemedicine. I prioritize patient safety and apply evidence-based practice to guide clinical decisions and escalate care when necessary.

I have demonstrated flexibility across outpatient specialties, including GI surgery, dermatology surgery, and MOHS clinics, and I helped create the first RN position in a GI Surgery department. I routinely perform telemedicine intakes, telephone triage, and prior authorizations to secure needed equipment and medications.

In the ICU I cared for critically ill patients using advanced hemodynamic monitoring, mechanical ventilation, CRRT, temporary pacing and complex device management, which strengthened my assessment, prioritization, and critical-thinking skills. I collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to coordinate care across the continuum.

I hold an Accelerated BSN and a B.S. in Kinesiology, maintain BLS certification, and completed training in neuromodulator and dermal filler injections. I am proficient in EPIC, Excel, procedural assistance, sterile field creation, and patient education, and I seek to bring these skills to a patient-centered, collaborative team.
