Summary
I have thoroughly enjoyed my nursing career. I love bedside nursing. I enjoy teaching my patients. I am a hard worker and I precept new nurses. I have been awarded the Carol Pittman award for nursing excellence and the Daisy award plus multiple nominations. I believe that the discharge process is important because of the teaching oppurtunity. Experienced nursing professional bringing demonstrated clinical expertise, leadership skills and technical knowledge. Proficient in updating charts, monitoring medications and working with multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient care. Quality-driven and efficient with strong interpersonal abilities.
