Dedicated RN with extensive experience in case management and patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and over 15 years of diverse experience in various healthcare settings. My journey began as a Nurse Extern and has evolved into roles such as Ambulatory Care Nurse and Case Manager, where I have honed my skills in patient assessment, care coordination, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to providing high-quality patient care and education. I have successfully developed and implemented individualized care plans, ensuring that patients receive the best possible outcomes. My experience includes working with patients who may be physically or mentally ill, and I excel in communicating effectively with them and their families to promote understanding and support during challenging times.
I am passionate about continuous improvement in healthcare delivery and actively participate in quality initiatives. I am now seeking a clinical RN position where I can leverage my extensive experience to make a positive impact on patient care and contribute to a collaborative healthcare team.
