Work History
Registered Nurse
Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital
Glasgow , MT
09.2007 - Current
- I currently am employed full time as a Staff RN at a 27 bed Critical Access Hospital in rural Montana. The facility is able to offer orthopedics, general surgery, OB/GYN coverage, a full Med/Surg unit that includes ICU coverage, as well as a 6 bed ER with Level 4 Trauma designation.
- The facility does not always have a medical provider in the building, they are on call and must respond to a patient within 30 minutes of being notified of an emergency. Nursing will manage patient care until such time as a medical provider, either an MD or a PA is present to assume care of the patient. As such, I am well trained in all the areas we cover.
- As a Staff RN I am competent in the following areas:
- Emergency Department to include basic EKG interpretation, critical care assessment and care implementation, non emergent needs, etc.
- Med/Surg
- Labor/Deliver and Postpartum
- ICU care to include a majority of cardiac medication drips but not all, metabolic conditions including diabetic emergencies and insulin drips. Before Covid 19, we would fly out ventilated patients. Since Covid 19, I did learn to run and manage ventilators when we were unable to fly a patient to a higher level of care for several hours.
- Wound and Ostomy Care.
- Clinical nurse supervisor before returning to the Staff Nurse position
- Charge Nurse
- Nurse Preceptor to nursing students, brand new nurses and new RN staff that have prior nursing experience. I typically precept a nursing student or two each semester of college: spring and fall. During summer I typically precept at least 1 new graduate RN throughout their orientation.
