What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive work environment that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Bachelor of Science in Nursing candidate with a strong commitment to providing exceptional support to patients and their families. My experience as a Registered Nurse Case Manager at Vitas Hospice has equipped me with the skills to manage patient cases effectively, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and ensure compliance with Medicare regulations. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am dedicated to delivering compassionate care.

Previously, I worked at UF Health Jacksonville Hospital, where I provided level 3 care for NICU patients. My role involved addressing patient and family concerns, administering medications, and educating families about illness signs and symptoms. I possess critical thinking skills that enable me to handle emergent scenarios with confidence and professionalism.

With a background in nursing assistance and administrative roles, I have developed a well-rounded skill set that includes patient care, medication management, and effective communication with healthcare providers. I am eager to contribute my expertise and compassion to a dynamic healthcare team.
