Registered nurse and case manager with 15+ years delivering patient-centered care across hospice and hospital settings.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience specializing in patient care and case management across settings from maternal newborn to hospice care. I’m proficient in care planning, medication management, and patient and family education, consistently aligning my practice with healthcare guidelines to support positive patient outcomes and satisfaction.
In case management, I managed caseloads of 15–27 patients, completed comprehensive assessments every 14 days per Medicare guidelines, and provided weekly visits with additional support as needed. I monitor medication necessity, effectiveness, and side effects, coordinate refills, collaborate with physicians for medication changes, supervise CNA’s and LPN’s, lead interdisciplinary group meetings, and make referrals when patients need additional resources. I’ve also spent 15 years in hospital nursing—providing head-to-toe assessments, pain management, education for recovery and follow-up, and discharge teaching for post-surgical patients.
