Dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) with a progressive career history in direct patient care, triage and care coordination in fast-paced environment. Proven to remain calm under pressure and skillfully handle difficult patients and high-stress situations. Consistently developing strong relationships with patients and families through empathetic communication, respectful attitude and excellent customer service. I'm excited and very ready to embark on a new career journey as an AGNP.
At a certified stroke center with a specialized focus on Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS) training. Primarily stationed on the ortho/neuro/spine unit, with occasional rotations to oncology, intermediate care, heart center, med/surg, and the observation unit.
Specialized in acute care dialysis in hospital settings, with extensive training for ICU-focused treatments. Served at multiple locations throughout Idaho and several hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Assigned to the surgical inpatient floor of a 186-bed acute care hospital. Gained hands-on experience across multiple departments, including ER, med/surg, cardio-pulmonary, and IMCU. Organized and managed care of patients undergoing various therapies and procedures.
Primarily positioned in med/surg with pediatric responsibilities, I also undertook frequent roles in the ICU. Spent a year in the PACU, with regular rotations to same-day surgery. Proudly served as charge nurse for a span of two years.
From 1987 to 1991, I served with distinction in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged, proudly bearing the Southwest Asia Service medal, a testament to my active duty during Desert Storm. It was during this pivotal time that I laid the foundation of teamwork, a skill I have continuously honed over the years. This foundation has been instrumental in my success as an RN, and I am confident it will continue to be an invaluable asset as I transition and evolve into my role as an AGNP.
