What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, teamwork, and patient-centered care.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with a strong commitment to providing exceptional patient care. With a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and extensive experience in various healthcare settings, I have honed my skills in assessing, advocating, and implementing care for critically ill patients. My journey began with an internship at King’s Daughters Hospital, where I developed a solid foundation in nursing practices.

Currently, I serve as an Interim Assistant Nurse Manager at Norton West Louisville, where I oversee daily nursing activities, ensuring patient safety and compliance with hospital policies. My role involves collaborating with physicians, educating patients and their families, and supervising new nurses to foster a safe and effective care environment. I am passionate about continuous learning and strive to enhance my nursing skills to provide the best possible care to my patients.
