ICU/ED Registered Nurse skilled in high-acuity monitoring, titratable infusions, mechanical ventilation, and interdisciplinary teamwork, with a strong focus on prioritization, time management, and patient-centered care.
Three years of experience working as a Registered nurse in an Intensive care/Intermediate unit caring for critically ill patients. This experience in critical care has been enhanced by being cross-trained and regularly working in the Emergency Department for approximately two years. My experience has provided me with a strong background in the management of high-acuity patients requiring mechanical and non-invasive ventilation, continuous medication infusions, and hemodynamic monitoring. Experienced with continuous infusions of vasopressors, sedatives, analgesics, antiarrhythmics, cardiac medications, Insulin, and Narcan. Proficient experience with continuous paralytic infusions. Experienced in the monitoring and care of patients requiring Central lines, arterial lines, CVP monitoring, BIS monitoring, and Train of Four. Experience working as a preceptor and charge nurse. Committed to providing safe, patient-centered care by collaborating with the interdisciplinary team as well as maintaining proficiency in comprehensive patient assessments, nursing procedures, ADLs, medication administration, critical care interventions, infection control, and, patient education.
Gained experience and knowledge in the role of a nurse by completing nursing interventions while under the direct supervision of a registered nurse. These interventions included tasks such as, but not limited to, assessing patients, administering medications, inserting IVs or foley catheter, and documentation.
Worked with nursing staff to provide safe and compassionate patient care by assisting with daily living activities, monitoring vital signs, and providing patients with emotional support.
