Briana Perry
Sullivan,MO
Summary
I am a hardworking nurse of almost 15 years with exceptional patient care, multitasking, and time management abilities. The majority of my clinical experience has been labor and delivery and mother/baby nursing. I did take some time away from nursing when my kids were babies, but returned full time in July 2020. During the thick of Covid, I worked as a contracted school nurse through a partnership with BJC at Spring Bluff School in Sullivan, Missouri. In this position, I worked with nurses and providers at the clinic to obtain same-day priority visits for our staff and students. I learned so much in this position and am very grateful for the opportunity. I decided to resign in June of 2024 to do what I felt best for my family. I am currently working as a special education paraprofessional at Sullivan Primary School but am looking for the right opportunity to get back to nursing.
