Summary

I have worked at St. Vincents East for more than 35 years. 12 years were in CVICU where I recovered open heart patients and other CV surgical patients. Part of the time there I served as charge nurse. Since 1999 I've worked in Cardiopulmonary Rehab. In addition to my management role there, I am directly involved in patient care. I am a dedicated employee and a hard worker. I use critical thinking and problem solving skills everyday as I interact with the patients, their families and doctors. I believe I could be a valuable part of your team at Blount.
