Summary
My nursing career started in the intensive care unit. I learned to be precise and diligent. I transferred to the emergency department in 1995. I built on these skills with decreasing the time needed for assessment. I use this background in my APRN practice. I have added diagnosis, medication prescribing, and management of medications. I know how valuable a good history and accurate medication list is to safe practice.
I value office staff and acknowledge the importance of good professional relationships and communication. I enjoy making myself an asset to my employer.
