Highly skilled, CCU & ICU Registered Nurse with 26 years of nursing experience, with the last ten years being focused on ICU/CCU care. I completed a nine month assignment (finished on August 10, 2022) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital in the MICU unit. This hospital is one of four Level I Trauma hospitals in Alabama and one of the top medical centers in the USA. Before this current assignment, I worked a 13 week RN CCU assignment at Gadsden Riverview Regional Medical Center in Gadsden, AL. In the 18 months before my Gadsden, AL CCU assignment, I completed a 13 week TMU assignment at Christiana Care Hospital in Newark, DE (May 2021 thru April 2021). Before the Christiana Care Hospital, I completed an initial seven week CCU travel nurse assignment at Baylor, Scott, & White Hospital which began in July 2020 that was continually extended through March 2021 (nine months in total) in Irving, TX. Previous to this travel assignment I worked a 13 week travel assignment in Newark, New Jersey as a front line COVID Critical Care Float Pool ICU RN. I have been focused on ICU/CCU Nursing for past ten years with exceptional skills in: IV insertion, critical care of patients on ventilators, CRRT, and ABG.
I took a few months off to help my youngest daughter transition to college at the University of Miami in Miami, FL. In addition, since she left the home, we decided to put our home in Huntsville, Al on the market to sell it. The home did sell in September of 2022 and the home sell closed on 11-30-2022. At that time I felt I would take a few months off to be with my family over the Christmas and New Years holidays. After these holidays our family took a 2023 Spring Break cruise in March 2023, after which I began employment again as a travel RN at Buffalo General Hospital in Buffalo, NY.
