Summary

I have been working as a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse in the gastroenterology department for over 6 years. My extensive experience includes assisting in procedures, setting up scopes and supplies, managing patient charts, providing pre and post-procedure education, collecting specimens, performing IV insertions, and ensuring infection control. I have a proven ability to maintain composure and make accurate decisions in fast-paced, unpredictable, and stressful environments. Additionally, I have a history of effectively communicating and collaborating with doctors, specialized support services, patients, and visiting families.
