Coordinated organ donor management, maintaining hemodynamic stability, evaluating labs/diagnostics, and ordering treatments to optimize organ function for transplant. Managed HLA/serology sample collection and donor chart entry across iTransplant, True North Life Logics, UNet, and TransNet, and performed UNOS-compliant organ allocation.

Provided as-needed fixed-wing flight RN coverage for high-risk cardiac transports requiring ventilator management, IABP/Impella, and IV drip medications/pressors. Supported long-distance critical adult and pediatric transports for medical, cardiac, neurological, and traumatic emergencies.

Provided critical care management for organ donor patients by coordinating donor stabilization, diagnostic test ordering/evaluation, and fluid/electrolyte treatment. Collected and labeled samples for HLA/serological and infectious disease testing and supported UNOS policy organ allocation using UNet.

Served as Flight RN for rotor wing EC135 air medical transport with high call volume and emergency scene response across a rural region. Conducted rapid triage and ongoing assessment and managed complex medical, neurological, and trauma patients with advanced airway/ventilation, vascular access, and vasoactive therapy support.

Provided PICU total care for pediatric patients with level 1 burns and complex congenital/traumatic orthopedics. Managed ventilators, chest tubes, invasive lines, and hemodynamic drip therapy, and administered and monitored moderate sedation during burn dressing changes, debridements, and wound care.

Worked in a busy critical access emergency department specializing in STEMI/cardiovascular and stroke care. Managed ventilated and critically ill patients boarded in the ER, performed conscious sedation for pediatric and adult procedures, and stabilized pediatric patients for transport.

Provided ER nursing coverage in a high-volume Level 1 trauma center for pediatric and adult medical and traumatic emergencies. Managed ventilated and critically ill patients boarded in the ER and initiated/managed invasive monitoring and life-sustaining devices, including chest tubes, CVLs, arterial lines, ICP/ventriculostomy, and cricothyroidotomy.

Provided ER nursing coverage at a critical access facility during high census, including incoming critical COVID patients. Managed adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients and prepared patients for critical care transport, including accompanying transports to higher levels of care.

Managed clinical assessment and care of organ donor patients from authorization through recovery, ensuring donor stability during the donation process. Interpreted labs/diagnostics to optimize viability, performed arterial line placement and ETT exchange for bronchoscopy, coordinated recovery teams and surgeons, and completed UNOS-compliant allocation and charting.

Provided advanced pre-hospital trauma and medical treatment as a rotor wing flight RN in an autonomous field role. Performed interventions including chest needle decompression, orotracheal intubation, surgical cricothyrotomy, and chest tube insertion while maintaining ongoing flight physiology knowledge.

Provided ER and ICU nursing care across multiple units, including CVICU, MICU, SICU, neurological ICU, and ER float coverage. Managed ventilator support, IV drip therapies, and invasive monitoring, stabilizing trauma/burn/critical pediatric patients for transport when required.

Led day-to-day operations of a high-volume outpatient cardiology clinic, coordinating clinic flow, patient testing, and physician-directed procedures and referrals. Performed and interpreted diagnostic testing (nuclear stress tests, Holter monitoring, and EKGs), provided patient education, managed Coumadin dosing, and responded to emergent situations using ACLS protocols.

Served as staff/charge RN providing total patient care for medical and traumatic emergencies across the lifespan. Delegated assignments, managed IV drip medications and medical devices, and acted as a preceptor and clinical educator for nurse orienteees, new graduates, and nursing students.

Filled Flight RN coverage for a high call-volume rotor wing base, completing safety briefings and equipment checks prior to missions. Provided rotor wing critical care transport across the lifespan, managing airway/ventilation (including RSI and cricothyroidotomy), chest tubes, multiple IV drips, and advanced hemodynamic devices.
