LAURA ALEXANDER
Cincinnati
Summary
I am interested in a part time or prn position in an outpatient or home infusion setting. My most recent and most lengthy experience is infusing biologics for the treatment of rheumatologic, neurologic and GI conditions in a small outpatient Rheumatology clinic. I left that position in July which gave me the time to study for the INCC National Infusion Certification Exam which I passed in September. I worked in home care for many years while raising my family and then research until I found my niche in infusion.
