Talented nursing professional with diverse clinical expertise and compassion.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated nursing professional with a solid background in various healthcare settings, including Medical Surgical Units, Inpatient Rehabilitation, Home Health, and Psychiatric Inpatient Units. My experience as a registered nurse has equipped me with the skills to deliver exceptional care to patients with diverse acute and chronic concerns. I pride myself on being compassionate and detail-oriented, ensuring that I meet the unique needs of each patient and their families.
Currently, I serve as a Patient Care Manager at Heart of Hospice, where I oversee comprehensive care for hospice patients, ensuring they receive quality and compassionate support. I work closely with interdisciplinary teams to educate patients and families about hospice services, while also managing end-of-life care in the home setting. My previous roles have allowed me to collaborate with healthcare professionals, train new nurses, and implement effective care plans, all while maintaining a focus on patient comfort and quality of life.
