Additional Information

I am am a dedicated and loyal to my employers - I rarely call off as I plan my personal needs around my job schedules. I am very flexible with my hours and days of the week and I am willing to travel. I learn quickly, can multi task and I am able to work independently. In my two APRN Positions the Physician in one Practice was only in office a couple of hours a day , so all patients were seen , evaluated and treated by myself without negative feedback from the patient or the overseeing provider. My current workplace the Physician works elsewhere and I function independently , often only calling for prior approval on high risk medications or treatments that may need to be prescribed. I am very thorough and organized and my subjective most positive attributes are my honesty,memory, and fast learning ability as well as my ability to work safely in fast paced environments while still providing patient with the time and attention they need.
