Remote-ready MSN-prepared Registered Nurse specializing in utilization management and nursing leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am a remote-ready Registered Nurse with an MSN, currently enrolled in a DNP in Healthcare Systems Leadership. I bring extensive experience in utilization management, discharge planning, case management, nursing education, and leading interdisciplinary teams, and I have a documented record of improving hospital revenue and streamlining patient transitions.
I have served in leadership and clinical roles across hospital settings—acting as Assistant Chief Nursing Officer, Education Coordinator, and charge nurse—where I implemented programs that increased gross revenue, reduced readmissions, and developed staff through evidence-based education and process improvements. I am skilled in EMR/EHR navigation, telehealth, remote patient engagement, AI and Microsoft tools, and I prioritize patient-centered care, staff development, and measurable quality outcomes.
