Summary
Professionally trained Registered Nurse with experience ensuring high standards of culturally competent care for a wide variety of patients with diverse needs. Progressively obtained specialized skills, starting in general medicine, moving to Obstetrics and Outpatient Gastroenterology, currently in Case Management. Proudly represented the BIDMC at an AWOHNN conference in Nashville, Tennessee, presenting an extremely complicated high risk obstetrics patients that I provided primary nursing care to.
Totaling over thirty years of nursing experience with BIDMC. As many nurses do, I always entertained more experience outside my full time positions. I have per diem experience in Home Care nursing over a two year period while working on the general medical unit. Of course I pride myself in being an advocate for family and friends, to assist in navigation in this very confusing and overwhelming health care system.
