Registered Nurse experienced in psychiatric, rehabilitation, and long-term care settings.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Registered Nurse (BSN) with hands-on experience across psychiatric, rehabilitation, and long-term care environments, focused on quality outcomes and regulatory compliance.
I manage high-volume patient loads and provide complex clinical care including IV therapy, tube feedings, wound vac therapy, and psychiatric medication administration while ensuring EMR documentation supports ICD-10, MS-DRG/APR-DRG validation, and audit readiness.
I collaborate with Medical Directors, interdisciplinary teams, and payers to align treatment plans with coverage policies and benefit plans, applying clinical criteria to validate coding accuracy and sequencing.
I prioritize patient and family education, trauma-informed care, and operational leadership—having overseen group-home operations and staff scheduling—to reduce readmissions and support payment integrity.
