Compassionate registered nurse dedicated to improving patient health outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from South Dakota State University. My experience spans various roles, including telehealth school nursing and medical claim auditing, where I have honed my skills in patient care, communication, and problem-solving. I am CPR certified and have a strong background in utilizing electronic health records, ensuring efficient and accurate patient management.
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse healthcare settings, from school nursing to community health. My role as a telehealth school nurse at Avel eCare has allowed me to adapt to remote healthcare delivery, providing essential services to students and their families. I have developed Individual Health Plans for children with complex medical needs and have actively participated in health education initiatives, ensuring that both staff and students are informed about health topics and emergency procedures.
My commitment to patient care is reflected in my ability to triage needs effectively and refer families to appropriate resources. I thrive in collaborative environments and have experience training staff on medication administration and health protocols. I am eager to bring my expertise and passion for nursing to a new opportunity where I can continue to make a positive impact on patient health.
