Summary
I am a passionate and dedicated nurse with 4 years experience. I began my career as a staff nurse on the ortho trauma acute care floor at the level I Red Duke Trauma Institute. There I gained a versatile set of nursing skills and enjoyed leadership opportunities including being unit practice council (UPC) chair, charge nurse, a preceptor and aiding my leaders in implementing an RN/LVN model on the floor. I look forward to continuing to expand my clinical experience through travel nursing contracts.
