Summary
Experienced Nurse Team Leader with a proven track record of success in the pharmaceutical industry and a Charge Nurse on a trauma/surgical floor. Strong leadership skills combined with a deep understanding of healthcare practices and regulations. Committed to delivering high-quality patient care and driving team performance. Seeking to leverage my expertise and contribute to the success of a reputable organization.
At this time I am looking for something that is part time and can be done from home. I really do not have any preferences to taking a job for coding or data entry. I just need training for coding and I know I will have the work done immediately.
