JESSICA SHERIDAN
Marion,NC
Summary
I am a very passionate nurse that has concentrated heavily on mothers/caregivers and their children. I have had experience from immediate postpartum to early adult-hood. I enjoy the art of motivational interviewing to help patients reach their own health goals. Also enjoy the population focus of increasing the health outcomes for the population as a whole. I have great experience with telephonic communication for medical care. I have care coordinated for patients while working with an interdisciplinary team from discharge from the hospital, bridging communication between schools and medical teams, as well as among specialists and returning patients to the care and trust of their primary medical home.
