Summary
I recently transitioned into rehabilitation nursing and have loved the change. I enjoy helping patients recover after significant life changes. Previously, I was a seasoned home health nurse case manager. Skilled in medication administration and palliative care, I demonstrate excellent interpersonal communication to ensure patient comfort and compliance. I have successfully managed over 20 patient cases, improving recovery outcomes through careful coordination of care, and empathy. I am also proficient in using Kinser for efficient patient data management.
