What I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive hands-on experience across corrections, long-term care, memory care, and public health settings. I have provided direct patient care, administered vaccinations and medications, performed venipuncture and phlebotomy, and managed infection-control and isolation precautions.
I have served as a charge/corrections nurse and worked in Alzheimer’s and dementia units, supervising patient care and coordinating with physicians and outside specialists. My clinical background includes wound care, tube feeding, vital-sign monitoring, laboratory specimen collection, and EMR documentation.
I hold an active LPN license (compact/NLC) and CPR certification, and I am authorized to work in the U.S. I bring reliable clinical judgment, experience with PointClickCare and other EMR systems, and a focused commitment to patient safety and preventing readmissions.
