I am an Registered Nurse with 22 years experience in a hospital setting. I have worked 2 years on a medical-surgical floor and the last 20 years in day surgery. I currently work in the pre-admitting department of day surgery. I interview patients having procedures in the cardiac catherization lab, intervention radiology, the stress lab; as well as the surgical patients. I am responsible for making sure all possible issues that could delay or cancel a case are addressed. I am the relief resource nurse for the department.
I am currently employed in the day surgery department at Brandon regional hospital. I am responsible for interviewing patients for their procedures, training new nurses to our department, and preparing the charts for the procedures the following day.
I worked caring for elderly patients, training new nursing assistants, and in a locked Alzheimer's unit.
