What I'm looking for

I seek ICU/cardiac nursing roles in collaborative hospitals that handle complex patients, value mentorship and professional growth, and offer opportunities for float or travel assignments.

I am a registered nurse with extensive critical care and cardiac experience across ICU, stepdown, and float-pool settings, including travel assignments. I provide adaptable, evidence-based care for complex cardiovascular and critically ill patients.

I manage advanced invasive monitoring and devices such as arterial lines, PA catheters, intra-aortic balloon pumps, Impella, CRRT, mechanical ventilation, chest tubes, and targeted temperature management, while performing procedures and coordinating post-op care.

I bring a background in education and bilingual Spanish instruction, mentoring nursing students during clinical rotations and delivering patient and family education to support recovery and discharge readiness.

I hold core nursing certifications and have been recognized for clinical excellence; I thrive in collaborative teams, remain current on best practices, and am committed to compassionate, high-quality patient care in dynamic hospital environments.
