Summary
Compassionate, well rounded and driven Registered Nurse with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Several years of experience working on a medical surgical unit, as well as experience working in Radiation oncology providing care for patient's undergoing concurrent chemoradiation. I am IV certified through Milford Regional Medical Center and assist in IV contrast administration. I have telemetry experience and am certified through Milford Regional. I have experience working with various different software's such as Epic, Expanse and Meditech. I value team work and working with in a multidisciplinary team to provide optimal patient care/outcomes.
Nursing is ever changing and I believe it is important to grow and learn each and every day. I am looking to expand my career within the nursing profession. One of my favorite quotes by Florence Nightingale, "Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses, we must be learning all of our lives."
