What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a nursing role where I can lead teams, coordinate continuity of care, and deliver compassionate, evidence-based patient treatment—leveraging my emergency and correctional healthcare experience to improve outcomes.

I’m a compassionate, caring nurse with over 12 years of experience delivering effective patient care in both correctional health settings and the emergency department. My approach centers on critical thinking, strong organization, and clear communication—so patients receive timely, appropriate treatment.

As a Registered Nurse and Health Services Administrator, I supervise nursing staff, schedule coverage, monitor and order medical supplies, and support medication administration, sick calls, and administrative patient care. I provide emergency first aid, patient education, and discharge planning, collaborating with primary and other healthcare providers to ensure continuity and appropriateness of care. Earlier roles as an LPN/Charge Nurse and Emergency Department LPN strengthened my skills in intake screenings, EMR documentation, lab specimen collection, and lifesaving interventions including basic and advanced life support, EKGs, venipunctures, cardiac monitoring, and vital-sign monitoring.
