What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote or hybrid role where I can lead competency-based nursing education, improve workflows using audit insights, and advance chronic disease and infusion/PICC medication-safety training to strengthen patient outcomes.

I’m a Clinical Nurse Educator and RN Subject Matter Expert with 25+ years of U.S. and international healthcare experience across staff development, home health and hospice operations, specialty care, clinical workflow implementation, and quality improvement.

In my current enterprise role, I assess clinical practice gaps and turn findings into competency-based education programs, job aids, audit tools, checklists, implementation guidance, and field-facing clinical decision resources.

My education work is grounded in chronic and rare disease support, medication safety, polypharmacy risk recognition, and interdisciplinary collaboration—especially for medically complex patients receiving high-risk therapies. I provide infusion/PICC and home infusion support education alongside wound care and infection prevention, translating patient-safety concerns into practical nursing training.

I also strengthen outcomes through clinical data interpretation and audit-driven improvement strategies, including documentation trend reviews and workflow barriers. Earlier leadership and frontline experience—including interim Director of Nursing coverage and RN case management—keeps my teaching highly operational, patient-centered, and safety-focused.
