Jessica Kowarsch

• Collaborated with physicians to quickly assess patients and deliver appropriate treatment while managing rapidly changing conditions.
• Educated patients, families and caregivers on diagnosis and prognosis, treatment options, disease process, and management and lifestyle options.
• Trained new nurses in proper techniques, care standards, operational procedures, and safety protocols.
• Monitored patient condition by interpreting and tracking EKG readings, identifying irregular telemetry readings and updating team members on changes in stability or acuity.

Through this position, I primarily worked with patients requiring 1:1 observation. On the floor, I was trained in all floors except ED and birthing, allowing me to work with nursing staff to care for patients of varying prognosis and barriers.
