Compassionate Licensed Vocational Nurse with 15 years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a compassionate and detail-oriented Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) with over 15 years of experience in clinical review, remote patient coordination, and direct patient care. My career has been dedicated to providing exceptional patient-centered care, particularly in virtual healthcare settings. I have a proven track record in telehealth, medical record auditing, and patient education, which has equipped me with strong knowledge of EHR systems, HIPAA compliance, and utilization review.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with interdisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes, prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, and improve care quality. My experience includes working as an Immunization/Floor Nurse at CoreCivic, where I ensured compliance with CDC guidelines and supported clinical staff in coordinating patient care. I am actively seeking a remote LVN or clinical review role to contribute to efficient, patient-centered virtual care delivery.
