What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead healthcare teams and improve patient outcomes while fostering a collaborative and compassionate work environment.

I am a Registered Nurse with nearly three decades of extensive expertise in long-term care, specializing in patient advocacy and acute care management. My proficiency in medical coding and Medicare processes, combined with skills in MDS coordination and ICD-10, enables me to enhance patient outcomes effectively. I am deeply committed to fostering empathetic communication and compassionate care, focusing on innovative health and wellness initiatives to elevate care standards.

In my current role as the Assistant Director of Health & Wellness at The Palms of Fort Myers, I coordinate daily caregiver tasks and manage staff schedules to enhance workflow efficiency. I lead as charge nurse, handling admissions, discharges, and physician orders while conducting resident assessments and organizing monthly in-service meetings to foster staff development. My previous experience as the Assistant Director of Nursing at LaBelle Health and Rehabilitation Center allowed me to lead daily nursing operations and provide strategic leadership, ensuring compliance with regulations and enhancing prevention measures.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to advocate for and protect the health, safety, and rights of residents. My dedication to quality care is reflected in my role as MDS Coordinator, where I ensured accurate completion of assessments and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to improve resident care. I am passionate about continuing to develop my skills and contribute to the healthcare field.
