Summary
I am a compassionate CMSRN with 12 years of bedside nursing experience at a HCA local hospital looking for a nursing position that could utilize my experience in a less physically demanding job. I have eight years of med/surg nursing with a concentration in cardiac care on a telemetry unit. Precepting and charge nurse roles honed my skills in building productive relationships with and mentoring cohorts by serving as a strong role model and resource person. I have experience with management, care and removal of post cardiac catheterization arterial and venous sheaths. Three years experience in IMC (Intermediate Care), an ICU step-down unit with complicated high acuity patient care needs. I have 1 year experience in CDU (Clinical Decision Unit), monitoring, testing and treating patients according to disease-specific protocols. I take special pride in educating patients and family on chronic conditions, medications and/or procedures to ensure the best outcome and quality of life. My most recent experience is working as a case manager on the cardiac/telemetry medical surgical floor for the last 15 months. As part of an interdisciplinary team member, I assist in patient care coordination and discharge planning. I conduct medical reviews utilizing InterQual and Midas documentation systems.
