What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to continue providing exceptional patient care while fostering a collaborative team environment and promoting professional growth.

I am an experienced orthopedic spine charge nurse with a strong commitment to delivering specialized care to patients recovering from orthopedic surgeries and injuries. Currently, I serve as a Charge Nurse at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital, where I lead a clinical team, respond to rapid changes in patient conditions, and ensure positive patient outcomes through individualized care plans.

My previous role as an RN Case Manager at Intermountain Homecare and Hospice allowed me to manage up to 20 patients, coordinating care and utilizing community resources effectively. I pride myself on my ability to function independently in home settings, making timely clinical decisions and advocating for patient needs. My dedication to continuous improvement and mentorship has fostered professional development among my peers, ensuring adherence to best practices and unit standards.
