Registered Nurse with cardiac and acute care expertise and strong care-coordination skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a Registered Nurse with over three years of clinical experience across cardiac telemetry, step-down, emergency, orthopedic trauma, medical-surgical and COVID units.
I have advanced experience monitoring and caring for postoperative cardiac patients following procedures such as CABG, thoracotomy, cardioversion, TEE and cardiac catheterization with PCI, and I routinely administer cardiac drips and titrate medications.
In my current role as Nurse Care Coordinator I provide direct patient care during angiography, lead multidisciplinary post-discharge coordination, train new staff, and drive workflow improvements to support high-volume patient care.
My background includes progressive care unit oversight, triage in emergency settings, travel nursing across acute care units, and prior laboratory experience in the U.S. Air Force; I hold active RN licensure and certifications in BLS, ACLS, CPR and AED.
