Dedicated LPN with 29 years of caring for patients.
What I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with 29 years of experience in various healthcare settings, dedicated to providing compassionate and patient-centered care. My journey began at St. Louis College of Health Careers, where I graduated in 1994. Since then, I have worked in long-term care facilities, hospice care, and home health services, gaining expertise in caring for diverse populations, including special-needs pediatric patients and ventilator-dependent individuals.
Throughout my career, I have embraced opportunities to expand my skills, including travel nursing assignments across the Northwest United States. My recent roles at Lee Health and as a Correctional LPN with Centurion have further honed my abilities in emergency and clinical care. I pride myself on being a team player who collaborates effectively with colleagues to ensure the best outcomes for patients. I am eager to bring my extensive experience and dedication to a new nursing role.
