What I'm looking for

I seek a role using my critical care and psychiatric expertise where I can deliver high-quality, evidence-based care, mentor staff, and collaborate in an interdisciplinary team.

I am a registered nurse with over 15 years of experience across critical care, acute care, and psychiatric settings, committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based patient care.

I have managed ventilators, tracheostomies, ICU drips, emergent medications, and complex monitoring while performing timely, accurate documentation and chart audits.

I have experience in psychiatric hospitals, long-term care leadership as an Assistant Director of Nursing, travel nursing assignments, and float-pool roles—collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement individualized care plans.

I hold multiple state RN licenses, PALS, ACLS, BLS, NIHSS, and CPI certifications, and I am proficient with Epic, Meditech, Allscripts, Athena, PointClickCare, Microsoft Office, Word, and Google tools.
