Racquel Munoz
@racquelmunoz
Acute care nurse practitioner specializing in hospital medicine, critical care, and telehealth risk assessments.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hardworking, dedicated, and compassionate Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with a comprehensive clinical background spanning over 17 years across critical care, hospitalist medicine, infectious disease, and telehealth settings. I excel at managing complex, high-acuity adult and geriatric populations while leading interdisciplinary care teams.
In my current acute care hospital medicine role, I provide cross-coverage and overnight acute care management for a large adult census and manage high-volume admissions by efficiently triaging and processing patients between 40 to 60 admissions per shift. I deliver care across the ICU, Adult Emergency Room, medical floors, and telemetry units, coordinating complex patient care plans with multidisciplinary specialists.
I bring a broad diagnostic and treatment skill set, including heart failure exacerbations, hypertensive crises, respiratory failure, acute strokes, sepsis and shock states, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), along with targeted medical management for post-surgical optimization and pregnancy/postpartum complications. I also emphasize patient safety practices like comprehensive medication reconciliation at admission and discharge.
Alongside hospital-based care, I’ve led remote telehealth health risk assessments, provided clinical guidance and counseling for disease management, and supported COVID-19 PCR testing operations through timely lab review and patient callbacks. I’m comfortable working across diverse healthcare software ecosystems, including Meditech EMR and Epic EMR.
