What I'm looking for

I’m seeking employment in ICU, PACU, and ER roles, with opportunities in hospice, home health, and correctional nursing. I want to use my critical care experience to support safe, compassionate patient care and coordinated discharge planning.

I’m an experienced RN with a career spanning ICU, ER/PACU, and cardiopulmonary care, including CVICU/CVPCU work and float pool responsibilities. I’ve supported complex patient needs through critical care, emergency response, EKGs, ventilator care, and advanced monitoring while maintaining strong communication during high-acuity shifts.

Most recently, I’ve been training and working as an RN Case Manager with hospice (VITAS), and I’ve also worked in the hospital care at home program to help reduce inpatient overcrowding. I bring hands-on experience across home health and correctional nursing, and I’m ready to deliver coordinated, palliative-focused care with credentials including ACLS, BLS, CPR, and CCRN.
