What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue in a high-acuity Emergency/Trauma role where I can lead patient flow, mentor new staff as a preceptor, and deliver evidence-based pediatric and adult care with strong safety and documentation standards.

I’m a Registered Nurse specializing in Emergency, Pediatrics, and Trauma care, with 5 years of emergency department experience and 4 years focused on pediatric and trauma support. I deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to diverse patient populations in a high-volume, high-acuity environment.

In my current role as Clinical Nurse III/Preceptor/Nurse Leader at St. Joseph’s Hospital Level 2 Trauma Center, I lead daily operations in the emergency department. I coordinate staff assignments, patient flow, and resource management while supporting smooth onboarding and training for new staff.

I’m skilled in rapid assessment, triage, and prioritization of critically ill or injured patients, with strong documentation practices in the electronic medical record. I ensure appropriate documentation of patient assessments, treatment plans, and progress notes while maintaining compliance with legal and ethical standards.

Across Clinical Nurse II and Charge Relief roles, I’ve led multidisciplinary teams and supported safety-focused care delivery for critically ill patients. I hold PALS, ACLS, TNCC, and TCRN credentials, and I’m confident managing both pediatric and adult patients with a calm, focused, high-standards approach.
