What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a registered nurse role where I can deliver compassionate, protocol-driven patient care, perform thorough assessments, and document accurately in EMR, with opportunities to grow clinically in outpatient procedures or case management.

I’m a patient-focused, compassionate, and enthusiastic registered nurse with 15+ years of diverse experience. I bring a strong nursing process mindset—planning, assessing, documenting, and communicating changes in patient status with clarity and urgency.

Since April 2026, I’ve worked as an RN in a GI Lab outpatient setting, handling admissions, discharges, circulating procedures, and post-procedure recovery. I complete in-depth assessments and provide thorough patient education, closely monitoring vital signs and performing recovery assessments in PACU according to policy.

Across contract and facility roles, I’ve delivered direct floor nursing care and case management, using EMR systems specifically in Cerner and Epic. I’ve collaborated with interdisciplinary teams, prepared and adjusted patient care plans, administered medications within scope, and maintained accurate clinical records while supporting patients’ physical, emotional, spiritual, and safety needs.

My background also includes wound-focused and end-of-life care: I’ve served as a wound care nurse with NPWT (Wound Vacs), supported skin integrity through assessments and preventive care, and worked in hospice as a case manager providing comfort education and emotional support to patients and loved ones. I’m committed to continuing education and maintaining a safe, therapeutic environment for patients, families, and coworkers.
