Dedicated registered nurse specializing in operating room procedures.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate and detail-oriented registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Loma Linda University. With extensive experience in the operating room, I have honed my skills in managing the needs of surgeons and anesthesiologists while ensuring patient safety during various surgical procedures. My journey in nursing has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my recognition as Employee of the Month at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital and my consistent presence on the Dean’s List during my academic career.
Throughout my professional experience, I have worked in multiple esteemed medical centers, including City of Hope and Saddleback Memorial Medical Center, where I have been involved in a wide range of surgical specialties. My ability to multitask, coupled with strong analytical thinking and interpersonal skills, allows me to thrive in high-pressure environments. I am also a Board Certified Nurse Coach, which enhances my ability to connect with patients and provide empathetic care.
