Dedicated NICU Registered Nurse with extensive neonatal care experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated NICU Registered Nurse with over a decade of experience in providing exceptional care to critically ill infants. My journey began with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman's University, and since then, I have honed my skills in various healthcare settings, including Medical City Alliance and Texas Health Methodist Alliance. I pride myself on being detail-oriented, ethical, and committed to continuous professional development.
Throughout my career, I have taken on various responsibilities, from charge nurse duties in high-risk deliveries to mentoring new nurses in the NICU. My experience includes managing ventilator-dependent patients, administering medications, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to create individualized care plans. I am passionate about educating families about their infants' medical conditions and providing emotional support during challenging times.
As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to expand my skills further and contribute to a team that values hard work, ethics, and patient-centered care. I believe that my critical thinking abilities, effective communication skills, and dedication to infection control will make me a valuable asset to any healthcare organization.
