Compassionate registered nurse dedicated to patient care and education.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated registered nurse with extensive experience in emergency and pre-operative care, I thrive in fast-paced environments where critical thinking and quick decision-making are essential. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner. My commitment to lifelong learning drives me to enhance my skills and knowledge continuously.
In my current role as a Pre-Op/PACU Registered Nurse at Theda Oaks Ambulatory Surgery Center, I perform comprehensive assessments and provide education to patients and families, ensuring they are well-informed and comfortable throughout their surgical experience. My previous experience in the emergency room has honed my ability to deliver rapid, high-quality care to patients in critical situations, where I have successfully managed life-saving interventions and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes.
With certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and Trauma Nursing Core Course, I am well-equipped to handle a variety of medical emergencies. I am passionate about patient advocacy and education, striving to empower patients and their families with the knowledge they need for effective care and recovery.
