What I'm looking for

I seek an ER or acute-care nursing role in a collaborative team focused on quality patient outcomes, professional growth, and supportive culture.

I am a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse with strong hands-on experience in fast-paced emergency department settings, focused on compassionate, efficient, and patient-centered care.

Over the last five years in the ER I have administered medications, performed diagnostic testing, monitored vitals, assisted with trauma stabilization, and documented care using electronic health records.

I have been repeatedly recognized for clinical excellence and teamwork, including receiving the 2025 DAISY Award and multiple DAISY nominations; I also hold certifications in BLS, ACLS, PALS, and IV Therapy.

I am in the process of relocating to Louisiana and pursuing license transfer, and I bring experience in infectious disease reporting, quality improvement initiatives, and strong communication under pressure.
