What I'm looking for

I'm looking to expand my clinical knowledge and competencies while supporting patients across emergency, acute care, and obstetrical settings.

At Canmore General Hospital, I provide direct nursing care to residents with complex medical, chronic, and post-acute needs. I administer medications, communicate changes in residents’ conditions, and support safe transfers and transitions of care.

I collaborate with residents, families, and the interdisciplinary team on health, wellness, and quality of life. I also supervise and delegate care activities to Health Care Aides within their scope of practice.

At AHS Milk River Health Centre, I worked in emergency and long-term care. In the emergency department, I performed CTAS-based triage and rapid assessments, initiated interventions, and monitored and stabilized patients.

My earlier nursing work included outpatient care at The Pinnacle Medical Centres and Chartwell Eau Claire Care Residence, telecommunication health at EXL Services Inc., pulmonary care at Breathe Always Good Air, and pediatric care at Al-Naim Polyclinic. I hold a BS in Nursing from De Los Santos-STI College and maintain CRNA registration.
