Work History
Registered Nurse
University of Vermont Medical Center
Burlington, VT
05.2004 - Current
- I have worked in women's healthcare since my hire date at UVMMC. I worked for a year on the postpartum/antepartum unit and for the last 21 years I have been doing high-risk obstetrics at a level 1 trauma center.
- Working in high-risk obstetrics has allowed me to regularly collaborate with other interdisciplinary teams given how closely we work with anesthesia, pediatrics, and neonatology.
- Collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to create comprehensive care plans that address complex patient needs.
- Executed IV placement, phlebotomy draws, pre-op care, PACU care, circulator role, and scrub nurse role in an operating room for cesareans. I have assisted with a countless number of vaginal births as well.
- Served as primary preceptor, mentoring new nurses and guiding them on best practices and protocols over 21 years in labor and delivery.
- I am comfortable working closely with patients and families in stressful and sensitive circumstances.
