What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to provide quality patient care in a supportive environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development.

I am a dedicated registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, currently working in Labor and Delivery at Conway Regional Medical Center. My passion lies in providing compassionate care to expectant mothers, ensuring a positive birthing experience through efficient management of labor processes and timely interventions. I take pride in maintaining accurate patient records and monitoring vital signs, as well as providing postpartum care and education to both mothers and newborns.

In addition to my primary role, I also work as a Registered Nurse II in the Operating Room at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, where I fulfill the role of circulating nurse. My responsibilities include ensuring patient safety during surgical procedures and coordinating care with the healthcare team. My previous experience as a Patient Care Technician and Clinic Secretary has equipped me with a well-rounded skill set, enabling me to support nurses and manage patient interactions effectively.
