Experienced registered nurse with a strong background in patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated registered nurse with 8 years of diverse nursing experience, specializing in rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, and home health care. My journey in nursing has equipped me with the skills to manage complex patient needs while ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations. I have a proven track record of leadership, having spent 4 years in supervisory roles, where I focused on enhancing patient care and operational efficiency.
In my current role as Director of Operations at Amedisys Home Health, I ensure that our care center adheres to all regulations while overseeing the delivery of care for our patients. My previous positions have allowed me to develop strong skills in team management, patient documentation, and business development. I am passionate about training and mentoring new nursing staff, ensuring they are well-prepared to provide high-quality care.
