Summary
I currently work at Baptist Rehabilitation Institute on the Neuro-rehab floor. I specialize in rehabilitating mostly stroke and brain injury patients, sometimes amputee and knee and hip surgery patients. While we do get plenty of skills here, I am looking to expand my knowledge to other areas of nursing. I am motivated and willing to learn any skill that is within my scope of practice and quick to pick it up. I work well with others as a team doing my best to help everyone when they need it no matter the task to make sure our patients are properly cared for.
