Summary

Acupuncturist RN with a passion for the Adult/Geriatrics population. I would be a great asset for positions in Acute Care. II am finding that I enjoy those environments. In addition to my nursing education, I have a master's degree in Chinese Medicine with a major focus on pain management with comfort measures. The education and hands-on point location training were impeccable when it came to learning surface anatomies such as in regards to arteries, nerves, fossa's, indentations, and landmarks of the body. This I believe, gives me an advantage when describing where a person's pain is, and when injecting clients (with any type of injectable drug) for safety and satisfaction. Although working as an RN is my main focus, I feel my education and well-rounded holistic view of health, come in sync when providing comfort measures and effective bedside nursing judgment.
