Shalon Coffey, RN
Lakeland,FL
Summary
Identification of early disease processes produces a fleeting opportunity to make a patient into a partner in their own healthcare treatment before it becomes catastrophic from inattention. Starting real and timely conversations are the key to developing that partnership. Teachings based on preventable outcomes produce lasting changes in behavior at home.
Writing articles and nurse coaching have made this type of proactive teaching a focus.
Running rapid response and code teams while working in Critical Care Units earned strong expertise in critical thinking, care planning and implementation, case management, end of life planning and triage.
Unique set of skills = great fit for this position.
