I am an experienced, dedicated and hard working Registered Nurse with a highly developed understanding of patient care standards and excellent communication skills. My hands-on experience in high-paced, high-volume settings such as Medical/Surgical/Telemetry acute care, long-term/ Rehab and currently MDS Coordinator/Case Management have strengthened my abilities in critical thinking, data collection, and implementing care plans to promote patient well being. I have demonstrated expertise in patient education, discharge planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I am seeking a position to utilize and expand my nursing knowledge and experience in a remote position.
