Rhiza Lee Antonio
Summary
I am a BSN Registered Nurse with over 25 years of experience, including 15 years in nursing management. I have a strong background in patient care across various settings, including 10 years in the Emergency Room (ER), 2 years in OBGYN, as well as experience in rehabilitation hospitals, medical-surgical (Med-Surg), and telemetry units. As a nursing manager, I have led teams, trained staff, and worked to improve patient care and hospital operations. My experience in the ER has given me the ability to work in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, while my time in OBGYN allowed me to provide specialized care for women's health. In rehab, Med-Surg, and telemetry, I have cared for patients with a wide range of medical conditions, ensuring quality treatment and recovery support. I am skilled in team leadership, staff development, and maintaining compliance with healthcare regulations. My goal is to continue delivering excellent patient care while fostering a positive and supportive environment for both patients and staff.
