What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my clinical expertise and passion for education while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

I am a passionate registered nurse with extensive experience in various healthcare settings, currently working at NYU Langone Tisch Hospital in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. My role involves admitting and recovering patients with diverse surgical diagnoses, ensuring that I provide tailored care that meets each patient's unique needs. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

Previously, I served as a Nursing Professional Development educator at NYP Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where I instructed critical care orientation material and mentored new nurses. My commitment to education extends to my role as a Clinical Instructor at Helene Fuld College of Nursing, where I supervise pre-licensure nursing students, guiding them in evidence-based practices and maintaining clinical standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to assess and manage complex patient needs, from cardiac monitoring to pain management. I hold multiple certifications, including Medical Surgical Nursing Certification, and I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice at Chamberlain University. My goal is to continue advancing my skills and knowledge while contributing to the nursing profession.
