Dedicated registered nurse with extensive surgical and critical care experience.
What I'm looking for
As a Registered Nurse with over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in various high-pressure environments, including surgical and critical care settings. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from MCPHS University, and I have since dedicated my career to providing exceptional patient care. I am currently licensed in both Massachusetts and Virginia, and I hold certifications in BLS and ACLS.
Throughout my career, I have worked in prestigious institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital and Urology of Virginia, where I have taken on roles as an OR Circulating RN and Surgical ICU nurse. My experience includes caring for patients recovering from complex surgeries and contributing to a multidisciplinary team that manages approximately 1,200 acute care patients annually. I am passionate about nursing education and have served as an Adjunct Faculty at Northeastern University, where I encouraged students to embrace evidence-based practice in their nursing care.
