What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my nursing skills while providing opportunities for growth and further education.

As a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) with a passion for patient care, I have developed a robust skill set in various healthcare settings, including orthopedic, hospice, and family practice. My journey in nursing began with my education at South Texas College, where I graduated with honors in Vocational Nursing. I am currently pursuing further education in the RN Bridge Program at Galen College of Nursing, which reflects my commitment to continuous professional development.

Throughout my career, I have held multiple roles that have honed my abilities in patient coordination, quality improvement, and clinical care. My experience as a Clinic Care Coordinator and Hospice Coordinator has equipped me with the skills to advocate for patients, manage complex care transitions, and collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to communicate clearly with patients and healthcare professionals alike, ensuring that every patient receives the highest standard of care.
