Summary
RN seeking to elevate my role within VNHLC. I have past management experience, though not in nursing, but as a stable manager. During my time at Putnam Hospital Center, I served as a “super user” to assist staff with the transition from paper charting to the Cerner EMR, experience that I feel will be valuable in supporting staff through the transition to MyUnity.
Proactive and goal-oriented professional with excellent time management and problem-solving skills. Known for reliability and adaptability, with swift capacity to learn and apply new skills. Committed to leveraging these qualities to drive team success and contribute to organizational growth.
