Margerida Carneiro
@margeridacarneiro
Licensed Practical Nurse focused on occupational health, testing, and patient care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Licensed Practical Nurse who delivers occupational health care with accuracy and calm urgency. In my current role, I perform drug and breath alcohol testing, administer and read TB skin tests, and review physical exams for clearance while documenting everything in EMAR.
I also support respiratory readiness by running pulmonary/respiratory testing and N95 fit testing, administering required vaccines, and completing quality control logs and emergency operational checklists. I’m comfortable working the front desk for registrations and discharges, and I prioritize time management and attention to details.
Earlier, I worked as a Pharmacy Tech at Walgreens, handling outgoing calls for vaccine reminders and refills, contacting insurance for overrides, and assisting with prior authorization calls. I filled scripts per MD orders and transcribed medications for pharmacist review.
Across my broader clinical background, I’ve led a team in a clinical setting—assigning walk-in injuries, coordinating unscheduled follow-ups, ordering blood work and X-rays, setting up sterile fields, and running OSHA 300 logs for COVID incident reports. Through nursing staffing assignments in hospice, school nursing, group homes, wound care, geriatric care, and home care, I’ve built strong confidence, adaptability, and a team-first workflow.
