What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to continue providing compassionate care while growing professionally in a supportive environment.

As a dedicated Pediatric Emergency Room Nurse at Promedica Toledo Hospital, I specialize in providing high-quality care to children from newborns to 18 years old. My role involves performing comprehensive assessments, managing pediatric traumas, and collaborating closely with physicians to ensure the best outcomes for my patients. My experience in this fast-paced environment has honed my critical thinking skills and ability to respond effectively to emergencies.

Previously, I worked as a Pediatric Nurse at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, where I cared for patients with various medical needs, including GI and Endocrine conditions. My responsibilities included utilizing GJ feeding tubes and assisting families with their emotional and social needs. I also have experience as a Charge Nurse, where I led a team to deliver excellent patient care. My journey in nursing began as a Nursing Assistant, where I developed foundational skills in patient care and communication.
