Summary

As a compassionate and detail-oriented Clinical Nurse with a strong background in the acute care setting, I am seeking to transition into the Perioperative 101 training program at Phoenix Children’s. I am experienced in delivering comprehensive patient care in fast paced, high-stakes environments while collaborating effectively with and supporting multidisciplinary teams. Additionally, maintaining patient safety, and adapting quickly to dynamic clinical settings are two of the many skills I possess. I am passionate about expanding my nursing expertise in a perioperative role and am committed to upholding Phoenix Children’s mission of providing outstanding care and advancing pediatric health. I am well prepared to thrive in the operating room while mastering the circulator role.
