Summary
I am 35 years old female who has been a nurse for almost 11 years now, practicing in NY. Started out in a private Dermatology practice for 6 years and have been practicing in ER medicine for the last 5 years. Relocating as my family has moved to Virginia and looking to settle down here.

Have experience using EPIC and Cerner charting systems and very knowledgeable about charting. I am a very reliable employee and looking for a full-time staffed ED nurse position.
