Evan McQuirk
I am a seasoned nursing professional with experience in multiple settings including Intermediate Care, Intensive Care and Vascular Access. I first worked on an Intermediate Care Unit for 2 years learning basic time management and critical thinking skills. I then worked in the COVID Intensive Care Unit during the height of the pandemic and further developed the skills, critical thinking and knowledge to successfully manage critically ill patients. I have taken the experiences and knowledge I've learned and applied it to the field of Vascular Access. I am looking to take the skills I have learned in these 3 different specialties and apply those back into the intensive care setting to provide higher quality, more holistic care for the critically ill patient.
