LAKELAND,FL
Summary
Nursing professional with 30 years experience in nursing. Extremely skilled in IV therapy and patient teaching, having spent several years working on an IV team and chemotherapy unit. Although I have found a home recently in the surgical care area, my true passion has always been in the infusion field and I would love the opportunity to return to this area of healthcare. I foresee outpatient infusion therapy to be the future of healthcare and am excited to broaden my horizons and knowledge in this field.
