Summary
ICU Registered Nurse with a focus on high-acuity care in a busy 30-bed unit. I pride myself on being a reliable teammate who stays calm and focused during the most difficult shifts. In the last year, I’ve stepped into leadership as a Resource Nurse and Preceptor, helping my colleagues manage the unit’s workflow and mentoring new nurses through complex clinical cases. I am relocating to Irvine, CA to build my long-term career and am available to start in May (or sooner).
