Passionate Clinical Nurse with 28 years of bedside experience in a surgical, medical, telemetry unit. Distinguished ability and excellent skill in the management of postsurgical and medical patients in a monitored acute care environment. My years of bedside experience and good communication skills equip me with the tools necessary to provide family, patient, and co-worker education. I am adept at working closely with doctors, nurses, members of other ancillary staff, and colleagues from other departments.
Progressive Certified Care Nurse certification provided me with additional tools to effectively care for patients in a stepdown environment. I am very astute in identifying subtle clinical changes and respond promptly when those changes occur. As a result of my ACLS certification, I am equipped to provide emergent advanced cardiac life support pending the arrival of the Code team. This helps to minimize adverse patient outcome which helps to increase the realization of positive patient outcome, and positive patient experience.
