As an ICU nurse with a year of experience in critical care, I’ve learned how to stay steady under pressure, think quickly, and care deeply. I’ve worked with high-acuity patients, many of whom are intubated and sedated. I’m now excited to bring my skills into the PACU, where I can continue advocating for patients, monitor them closely during recovery, and support a smooth transition from anesthesia to full awareness. My goal is always to make patients feel safe, seen, and supported—no matter how brief our interaction.
