Summary

Dedicated Registered nurse with over five years of experience. I started on a respiratory step down unit and was able to fine tune my nursing skills and assess and evaluate patients. I moved on to a cardiac same day unit where we prep and recover patients from different cardiac procedures like heart caths. I then moved on to Summa Electrophysiology where I have grown in my cardiac expertise. I then got promoted to Atrial Fibrillation coordinator where I educate patients on heart arrythmia and help to keep them out of the hospital. I am passionate about nursing and helping others and to empower them to take their health into their own hands.
