United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am currently enrolled in the Family Nurse Practitioner Master of Science in Nursing program at the University of Cincinnati, aiming to enhance my ability to provide comprehensive care to patients in my rural community. My journey in nursing began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Waynesburg University, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. This strong academic foundation has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in various nursing roles.
In my professional career, I have gained extensive experience as a Registered Nurse at UPMC Greene, where I work in the Medical-Surgical Acute Care and Intermediate Care Units. My responsibilities include managing complex patient care, administering medications, and performing critical procedures. Additionally, I have cross-trained in the Emergency Department and outpatient settings, allowing me to provide a wide range of nursing services. As a Nursing Preceptor, I take pride in mentoring new graduates, sharing my knowledge, and fostering their growth in the nursing profession.
