What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused nursing role where I can coordinate care, advocate for patients, and grow clinically in acute, perioperative, or case-management settings within a collaborative team.

I am a registered nurse with diverse clinical experience across telemetry, dialysis, operating room, and case management. I provide patient-centered care, advocate for patients and families, and coordinate multidisciplinary treatment plans while maintaining strong time-management and communication skills.

My hands-on work includes acute dialysis monitoring and transfusions, circulating and scrubbing in operating room procedures (plastics and gynecology), and telemetry/ICU exposure through clinical rotations and staff roles. I am EPIC-trained and certified in BLS and injections, including neurotoxins and dermal fillers.

I thrive working independently and collaboratively with providers, legal teams, and insurers to facilitate progressive medical treatment and continuous quality improvement. I bring reliability, attention to detail, and a commitment to therapeutic communication and culturally aware care.
