Summary
I have been a registered nurse at Ohio State since I graduated nursing school in 2020. I have loved my time as a buckeye. I started my career in the Medical ICU where I learned a great deal about time management and caring for critically ill patients. I was best known by my coworkers for being a team player and a hard worker. I then transitioned to a role in the cardiac cath lab. Now I get the opportunity to care for critically ill patients as well as stable outpatients. I have learned to assist in cath procedures, provide conscious sedation, as well as learn to manage many cardiac devices.
