- I spent about 2 months in 2022 after much coaching by the director as a patient care manager.
- I preferred working with patients in the field and returned there where my OASIS documentation was determined to average 93% accuracy.
- I am a creative problem solver with excellent communication skills.
- I have developed analogies to teach my patients about various common health conditions in ways they can visualize.
- For example, to teach effects of HTN on kidneys I describe a water hose left on with the spray nozzle intact.
- When pressure builds the hose springs a leak just like capillaries in the kidneys.
- Capillaries repair leaks with scar tissue which does not filter waste. Over time, kidney function is reduced.
- I was recently promoted to preceptor for all new nurses in both Lake City and Gainesville FL.
- I am told I am a great teacher.
- I am seeking a position as a clinical patient care manager/preceptor.
