What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth, teamwork, and patient-centered care.

I am a passionate Registered Nurse with extensive experience in critical care and infusion therapy. Currently, I work at Atlanticare Regional Medical Center in the Intensive Care Unit, where I provide exceptional care to diverse patient populations, including those with complex medical conditions such as sepsis, cardiac arrest, and multi-system organ disorders. My role involves utilizing advanced intravenous medications and serving as a key member of the Medical Emergency Team, ensuring the highest standards of patient care.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to patient safety and education, leading initiatives such as the Central Line Infection Prevention committee. My previous experience includes working in endoscopy and dialysis, where I honed my skills in patient assessment, medication administration, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and am certified as a Critical Care Registered Nurse, which underscores my dedication to professional development and excellence in nursing practice.
