Experienced RN specializing in critical care and emergency nursing.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my critical care expertise in a supportive environment focused on patient outcomes.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with extensive experience in Critical Care Nursing, specializing in Trauma Care and Emergency Department patient care. My background includes pre and post-operative care, as well as expertise in Cardiac Catheterization Prep and Recovery. I have worked in various intensive care units, including CVICU, COVID ICU, CCU, MICU, and TICU, and have served as a NCDR CATH PCI Data Manager.

Throughout my career, I have held significant roles such as Charge Nurse in the Heart and Vascular Surgical Department and have been responsible for the total care of critical patients. My recent positions include working as a Per Diem Staff RN in a specialized Prep/Recovery space, where I focused on the care of pre and post-operative surgery patients. I have also taken on travel assignments across New Jersey and Florida, gaining diverse experience in critical care units and emergency medicine.

My commitment to patient care is reflected in my ability to manage complex cases, including those requiring advanced interventions such as BiPAP and ventilator management. I am passionate about providing high-quality care and continuously improving my skills to better serve my patients.
