Summary
I have been a RN since June 2021, I started out in postpartum where I would care for infants and women. I have experience in administering high risk medications such a pitocin and magnesium. I would monitor mother and baby to make sure they could safely go home. The past year I have worked in the recovery room where I have gained expertise on pain management and monitoring patients closely while they transition out of anesthesia. I am crossed trained to pain clinic where I pre op and recovery patients. My goal is to continue to broaden my knowledge in nursing and to provide safe and quality patient care.
