Summary
I have been a critical care RN now for 37 years and spend most of my time at the bedside caring for critically ill patients. I have also precepted and oriented RNs. A big part of my job also involves caring for the needs of family members in crisis and providing emotional support to both patients and families. I am proficient in caring for patients with sepsis, heart failure, renal failure, strokes, multi organ failure, cancer, post-surgical needs, respiratory failure, post arrests, drug overdoses and palliative care needs. I am proficient in the skills that go with those types of patients.
