Summary

Compassionate and results-driven Registered Nurse with 9 years of experience in long term care, medical surgical and oncology settings. Demonstrating strong leadership, effective communication, strong clinical skills, driven and compassionate work ethic with a strong desire to learn and grow in my professional nursing career, and a strong commitment to patient advocacy. Skilled in delivering comprehensive, patient centered care, supporting patients through acute and chronic illnesses, including cancer treatment. At Roswell, I am competent in the understanding and treatment of radiation therapy and how it works, the potential side effects, treatment plans etc. I have provided support to patients undergoing treatment and assisted in determining interventions associated with complications that can arise during treatment. Some of these complications are, but not limited to, wound care for breast cancer patients, IV hydration for head and neck patients, PVR and catheter education for prostate patients, and education on internal radiation and brachytherapy for cervical cancer patients. I have proven ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, prioritize patient safety and respond effectively in both fast paced and clinical based environments.
