What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to further develop my nursing skills while providing compassionate care in a supportive environment.

As a Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive experience in various healthcare settings, I am committed to providing high-quality patient care. My journey began at ATA College, where I earned my Associate's degree in Practical Nursing. Since then, I have honed my skills in patient assessment, medication administration, and wound care across multiple facilities.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with healthcare providers to ensure that patient orders are followed meticulously. My role as an MDS coordinator involved coding ICD-10 diagnoses accurately, which has enhanced my attention to detail and understanding of healthcare regulations. Currently, I serve as a Wound Care Nurse, where I manage wound treatments and collaborate with Nurse Practitioners to ensure compliance and optimal patient outcomes.
