What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep growing as a pediatric RN in a team that values compassionate, high-quality care. I want a role with strong collaboration, detailed triage and education, and opportunities to expand my pediatric clinical skills.

I am a Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduate (August 2024) and a licensed Registered Nurse in Arizona. I currently work as a Registered Nurse in a busy pediatric clinic and as a school nurse, delivering compassionate, high-quality pediatric care.

I bring over eight years of experience in pediatric and family-focused healthcare settings, including five years in high-volume pediatric clinics. I’m experienced in patient assessment and triage (in-person and telephone), accurate medication and dosage calculations, and medication and vaccine administration, including VFC guidelines.

My clinical background also includes assisting with pediatric procedures such as circumcisions and catheterizations, as well as providing IV initiation, fluid administration, oxygen delivery, nebulizer and respiratory treatments, and routine phlebotomy. I’ve also supported families through clear parent and patient education and discharge teaching, while maintaining EHR documentation and HIPAA compliance.

I am known as a dependable team player with strong attention to detail and a commitment to following physician orders accurately and efficiently. As a recent graduate nurse, I’m eager to continue growing my skills and contributing positively to a pediatric care team—bringing my passion, reliability, and collaboration to every shift.
