What I'm looking for

I'm seeking travel RN assignments in case management, care coordination, or outpatient settings.

At Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, I provided supervised outpatient psychiatric assessment, treatment planning, medication management, and follow-up during my PMHNP residency. I also co-led a quality improvement project to organize specialty mental health referral pathways and improve navigation between services.

At Naval Medical Center San Diego, I delivered inpatient psychiatric nursing care and, as charge nurse, coordinated admissions, transfers, discharges, and communication across the care team. Earlier, I administered approximately 3,200 COVID-19 vaccinations with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
