Summary
I have worked with patients and families in crisis situations throughout my entire career until retiring in 2016. The collaboration with teams of physicians, spiritual caregivers, music, physical, and art therapists, care assistants, volunteers, while caring for patients and families has been immensely rewarding. My years of experience providing physical,emotional,spiritual,and educational support to patients and families and well as my knowledge in pain management and comfort control measures inherent to the management of symptoms associated with disease progression have led to seek employment in the field of hospice. Highly perceptive Home Health Registered Nurse promoting over 4 years of assessing and working with patients in home settings. Considered expert in clinical acumen and advocating for patient needs.
