MA ERLYN SANTIAGO BSN, RN, PCCN
Registered Nurse
El Dorado Hills,CA
Summary
Experienced Clinical Nurse with over 25 years of varied nursing positions held in both Skilled Rehab and Acute Care settings. Strongly believes in multi-disciplinary approach for best possible patient outcomes. Fully acknowledges diversity in the health care settings. Strong ability to multi-task in a fast-paced work environment. Works very well with colleagues including the interdisciplinary team. A very good resource person in the unit with solid experiences in dealing with acute/chronic complex medical cases. Varied exposures in different units/specialties as a float nurse in the past in ED, Medical-Surgical floors, Trauma, Cardiology unit, has given me an edge in better understanding of patient workflow from admission to discharge.
Transitioned successfully to my current job in a non clinical setting with a unique way to manage patients and collaborate with interdisciplinary team via telephonic and electronic communication with UCDH personnel and patients.
I am very interested to explore and engage in other Nursing specialties or departments being equipped with skills and solid, long nursing experience for professional growth and advancement.
