What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and patient-centered care, offering opportunities for professional growth.

As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with extensive experience in outpatient and school nursing, I am committed to providing high-quality patient care. My role at UHSH in Binghamton, NY, has honed my skills in medication management and effective communication with patients, staff, and providers through various platforms including MyChart and EPIC. I thrive in team environments, utilizing my analytical thinking to solve problems and ensure optimal patient outcomes.

My experience as a substitute nurse across various educational settings has equipped me with the ability to adapt quickly to diverse needs. I have supported K-12 students, managing minor illnesses and injuries while educating families on health and safety protocols. Additionally, my time at Binghamton University as a Surveillance Tester allowed me to enhance my customer service skills while ensuring safety and sanitation during testing operations. I am passionate about making a positive impact on the health and well-being of my patients and the community.
