Carrie Severa

Provide exceptional healthcare to women, from adolescence throughout adulthood obtaining medical histories, discussing birth control options and menopausal symptom management options, performing physical examinations, ordering appropriate bloodwork and/or imaging studies, diagnosing conditions, and educating patients on their diagnosis and plan of care options. Provide prenatal and postnatal care to women while also coordinating with their delivering physician and any specialists involved.

Cared for high risk pregnant women with preterm pregnancy complications and women throughout the labor process, being prepared to take prompt action for any emergent situation that may arise, and caring for mother and baby during the postpartum period, ultimately making sure the health and emotional needs of the mother are met. I also helped stabilize infants immediately after birth.

From Jun 2005 through January 2007, I worked on the floor as a staff nurse performing daily assessments on patients, gathering clinical data, passing medications, and continually assessing patients' pain.

From January 2007 until 2009, I was a charge nurse on the unit making patient assignments for the floor nurses, calling physicians for orders, and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team such as social work, home care, PT/OT, etc in regards to discharge planning.

Assisted the nurse with patient cares, bathed patients, assisted patients with eating, obtained vital signs, monitored intake and output, assisted patients with ambulation, and accompanied patient's out upon discharge.
