Skills and
Assets
I am a Registered Nurse with 9+ years experience in acute care, urgent care,pre and post op care for same day surgeries, IV infusion clinic, swing-bed/rehab, emergency department, hospice and Long-Term Care settings. I have high standards regarding the care I provide to my patients. I strive to provide culturally competent care for a wide variety of patients. I have worked with patients ranging in age from newborn-elderly. I have obtained knowledge and had experience in caring for patients with a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. I am proficient in my ability to care for patients and safely provide medications and treatments to those with multiple dysfunctional body systems. My experience has given me the critical thinking skills needed to anticipate and treat the diverse needs of these complicated populations. I believe in providing care to my patients using a wholistic approach, I am comfortable providing emotional/mental and spiritual support and education promoting importance of a holistic approach to care. I’m highly empathetic and this allows me to understand and provide support and comfort to patients' families. I have excellent as well as diplomatic communication skills. I am a leader in many situations and am not afraid to stand alone in the face of adversity if I need to advocate for a patient. I am responsible, compassionate and flexible; with the ability to quickly adapt to rapidly changing situations or environments while maintaining a level head. I work well with a team as a leader with ability to delegate tasks appropriately, I can communicate with coworkers and complete tasks that others delegate to me. I know that all team members are vital and important to provide high quality care. I love to educate and empower those I care for. I find that my experience has made me a well rounded, knowledgeable nurse with excellent ability to provide safe, quality care. Nursing frequently fills my heart with gratitude and humility, I love my career and I believe if a person loves what they do it is clearly displayed in our demeanor and in our daily attitudes. This energy can shift a patients experience from one of comfort to one of complaints quite quickly, I try to stay on the positive side and be an uplifting presence. Experien
