Summary
I am an experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner currently providing acute, chronic and emergent care psychiatric care in the outpatient setting. I am interested in transitioning to an inpatient hospitalization or crises stabilization setting in the future. As a dual certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner/Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am a well rounded, expert nursing professional with excellent interpersonal skills and a caring nature that promotes successful therapeutic relationships. A lifetime career as a RN in a variety of inpatient settings including cardiology, intensive care, trauma and surgery brings a variety of skills to enhance care provided to psychiatric populations.
