Summary

Caring Compassionate Registered Nurse with 32 years' experience. I enjoy working with others and being part of a team. I have 7+ years of hospital inpatient couplet care. I also have 15 years as a Public Health Nurse Specialist III, providing case management and home visitation. I was fortunate to care for a variety of patients. The ages ranging from infant to geriatric, along with pregnant women. I have 7 years of nursing at a hospital inpatient medical surgical unit and 2 years of Labor and Delivery. I was oriented to other units in the hospital, and I was able to develop my most important attribute to patient care. Which was learning many skills and patient emotional support techniques. I have grown to find satisfaction in many different clinical settings and many different types of patients. I have been blessed to develop rapport and friendships with patients, families, and coworkers. (From the tiniest precious hands and feet to the longest-lived strong hands and hearts on this earth.)
