Summary
I am an organized and knowledgeable Registered Nurse who has accumulated 5 years of hospital experience. Introduced to the hospital setting in 2019, I worked as a PCA on a med-surg unit while working to obtain my LPN License. The Medical Surgical Unit has prepared me to manage a variety of patients conditions. As a Registered Nurse, I sought critical care and spent a year in the Internal Medicine- Intermediate Care Unit at Hershey Medical Center. There I was successful in providing fast and accurate assessments, working calmly under pressure while also collaborating well with interprofessional teams. Along the way, I have cared for pre-op and post-op patients and have developed an interest in learning anesthesia and surgical procedures to further advance my knowledge. I believe that with my critical care background, I can be a valuable member of the PACU.
