What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner with over 19 years of comprehensive nursing experience across acute, outpatient, and home care settings. My journey in healthcare has equipped me with effective organization, critical thinking, and communication skills, enabling me to provide individualized and optimal evidence-based care to my patients.
Currently, I serve as a Family Nurse Practitioner at the Medicine Clinic of Morgan City, where I conduct comprehensive assessments and develop patient-centered treatment plans for both adult and geriatric populations. My previous roles have further honed my ability to manage acute and chronic health conditions, ensuring that my patients receive the highest quality of care tailored to their unique needs.
In addition to my clinical practice, I have experience as an Adjunct Nursing Instructor, where I coordinated workforce development programs and trained future healthcare professionals. I am passionate about advancing nursing practice and contributing to the healthcare community through education and mentorship.
