What I'm looking for
As a dedicated nursing professional, I am committed to providing exceptional patient care and education. Currently, I work at St. Louis Children’s Hospital as a Clinical Pulmonary/General Medicine Nurse, where I educate patients and their families on care plans, perform thorough assessments, and manage complex medical needs including tracheostomy and ostomy care.
My experience also includes working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where I maintain central access and urinary catheters with absolute sterility while providing emotional support to families in challenging situations. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am always looking to expand my knowledge and skills to better serve my patients.
