Summary
Within my 18 years as an RN, I have developed a variety of skills needed for facilitating competent patient care and successful treatment outcomes. The knowledge I have gained through my practice includes the care of the critically ill, traumatically injured, mental health crisis, pediatric/infant, mothers during pregnancy (emergent and non-emergent), and women’s health populations with varying health concerns and disease processes. I take pride in being able to work independently as well as communicating and offering support to other staff members.
