Compassionate Registered Nurse dedicated to patient care and rehabilitation.
What I'm looking for
I am a compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse with extensive experience in various healthcare settings. My journey in nursing began with an Associate Degree from Indian Hills Community College, where I graduated with a 3.5 GPA. Since then, I have honed my skills in fast-paced environments, providing care for patients recovering from surgeries and managing complex medical conditions.
Currently, I work at Mercy Medical Center in Redding, CA, where I facilitate admissions and discharges in the Med/Surg and Telemetry units. My role involves assisting post-operative patients with rehabilitation and mobility while ensuring their cardiac output is maintained. I have also worked as a Travel Nurse, gaining diverse experience across multiple specialties, including oncology and telemetry. My previous roles have included Charge Nurse and Case Manager, where I led teams and coordinated care for patients with varying needs.
