Cullman

Summary

I spent 18 years working at a level two trauma center in California. 17 out of the 18 years were spent working in the operating room. I am good under pressure and able to communicate with surgeons and other staff effectively. I am very accurate when positioning a C-arm for imaging. I have experience operating a C-arm in a multitude of different types of surgery and I learn and adapt quickly when presented with something new. I would love to work with Dr. Barlow helping to perform the SGB shots in Cullman on Fridays. Not only has the SGB shot benefited my husband and his fellow veterans, but I have also been helped by it. I am willing to do whatever role is needed in addition to running a C-arm. If help is needed preparing the room,setting up sterile trays, or doing admissions, I am happy to help with anything to make things run more smoothly in the clinic. I am retired and I miss working in a surgery setting and I also want to be a part of something greater than myself. I want to help my community and do a good job to make every patient's experience better because I was there to make them feel at ease. I have high standards and a strong work ethic and would love to work with you.
