What I'm looking for

I’m looking to provide compassionate, high-acuity hospice and home health care where I can lead, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and deliver meticulous clinical documentation—especially across complex wound care and catheter/drain management.

I’m a compassionate, dedicated Licensed Vocational Nurse with extensive experience in clinical and hospice settings, delivering superior patient care in high-acuity environments. I manage an autonomous patient caseload of up to 50 individuals while maintaining rigorous safety, infection control, and documentation standards.

I coordinate comprehensive care plans with multidisciplinary teams to support timely assessment, diagnosis, and treatment across diverse patient populations. I also provide clinical leadership and mentorship to CNAs and Home Health Aides, executing and documenting advanced procedures such as sterile wound care, Foley catheter, peritoneal drain, and nephrostomy care. In behavioral health settings, I’ve provided crisis intervention using de-escalation techniques and maintained strict HIPAA-compliant documentation while administering psychotropic, detox, and controlled substance medications.
