What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated and compassionate ICU nurse with extensive experience in providing quality care to patients in high-pressure environments. My background includes working in trauma, post-surgical, and medical-surgical units, where I have honed my skills in patient assessments, care planning, and medication administration. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with patients and their families, ensuring they feel supported and informed throughout their care journey.

In my current role as a Med-Surg ICU Charge Nurse at Methodist Specialty & Transplant Hospital, I oversee the unit's operations, ensuring compliance with safety protocols and maintaining high standards of patient care. My leadership experience includes supervising and training new nurses, creating schedules, and acting as a liaison between medical staff and patients. I am currently pursuing a Master's in Healthcare Informatics to further enhance my skills and contribute to the evolving field of nursing.
