What I'm looking for

I seek critical care roles (ICU/Neuro/Burn/PCU) where I can continue hands-on high-acuity nursing, mentor staff, and contribute to patient-centered, team-based care.

I am an experienced critical care registered nurse with a strong background in neuro/neurosurgical trauma, burn ICU, oncology, and progressive care settings.

I have worked as both staff and travel RN across multiple high-acuity units, including Neuro/Neurosurgical Trauma ICU, Burn ICU, Medical Oncology, and Progressive Care, providing post-operative, critical, and palliative care.

I regularly function as a preceptor and relief charge RN, with hands-on experience in central line care, chemotherapy and immunotherapy administration, advanced wound care, and management of complex cardiopulmonary issues.

I maintain certifications including PALS, BLS, ACLS, ABLS, ELNEC, and TNCC, and I am proficient with EPIC, Cerner, Meditech and other electronic medical record systems.
