Additional Information
I am currently working as a travel nurse for Aya Healthcare. I have been employed through them since August 2021. I have extensive knowledge in the healthcare setting as a registered nurse. I started out as a critical care float going to every unit in the hospital, including the Emergency department, NICU, and PICU. I then transferred to a new hospital and started working as a peri-operative nurse. I work closely with anesthesiologists and have extensive knowledge of anesthesia. I have used EPIC charting system for my whole career as a nurse. I am confident that I have a expert level of understanding on how to use EPIC from a nursing standpoint.
