Summary

I am now a Retired RN, beginning a second career with Stuff We Make. I create custom kiln warmed wind chimes, based on customer need. I do 3-4 Art Shows a year. I make beautiful chimes, night lights and custom art works. I am still a nurse at heart and use those skills volunteering in my neighborhood and writing. My nursing concentration was in ICU/ER/Dialysis bedside care and management. Excellent triage capabilities with fluid re-prioritization as needs dictate. Hardworking and skilled Critical Care Nurse bringing proven skills in managing needs of patients with concerns such as trauma and multi-system failure. Supports patients continuously using clinical expertise and sound judgment. Effective in emergency situations. Presented with a Daisy Award winner in 2020 and have a heart for nursing.
