What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow my nursing skills while providing compassionate, patient-centered care in a supportive team environment.

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a robust background in the ICU/Stepdown Unit at the Veterans Affair Medical Center. My experience has equipped me with the skills necessary for health promotion, critical thinking, and clinical judgment. I am committed to enhancing clinical practice and expanding my nursing skill set while providing quality patient-centered care within a multidisciplinary team.

Currently, I serve as a Registered Nurse at the Veterans Affair, where I utilize my critical thinking skills to assess changes in patient conditions and recognize complications, intervening appropriately to ensure high-quality patient care. My previous role as a caregiver allowed me to maximize care for individuals with complex health needs, reinforcing my ability to provide emotional support and promote overall wellbeing.
