United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a registered nurse with extensive experience in cardiac catheterization labs, clinical documentation, and utilization management across hospital settings in the United States, United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia. I have held charge nurse roles and supported complex procedures including angiograms, angioplasties, TAVR and MitraClip cases.
I currently work as a Clinical Documentation Specialist conducting concurrent and retrospective reviews, and I am a Certified Coding Specialist (CCS). My clinical background includes cath lab nursing, peri-procedural assistance, team coordination, and utilization management tasks using tools such as 3M Encompass and MCG criteria.
I bring leadership in daily cath lab operations, experience in high-acuity emergency and medical-surgical care, and a focus on accurate documentation and coding to improve patient care and reimbursements. I seek roles that leverage my procedural nursing expertise and documentation/coding skillset.
