Summary
Compassionate and hard working Registered Nurse with 18+ years of experience. I have worked night shift on a Medical/Surgical/Trauma/Orthopedic Floor at Lake Monroe Hospital. I provide excellent direct patient care on a very fast paced unit. I was the charge nurse of the unit for 10 years and have experience with assigning patients, assisting the staff, rounding and smoothing out situations when patient were not satisfied with their care. I have experience working on a joint / spine unit where patient come in for elective surgeries and are monitor post procedure for the night. I am very proactive when it comes to patient safety. I am experienced at starting IV's, pain management, chemotherapy administration, port accessed and have good bedside manners. I like to develop strong relationships with my patients and families through empathetic communication, respectful attitude and excellent customer service.
