Wendy Childres

I began as an RN at the VA Medical Center in August of 2021. I attended the Nurse Residency program. During that time, I learned the foundations of nursing and furthered my education within the facility. I worked on the Rehab/Long-term care unit with veterans who need PT, OT, and restorative care. I also cared for veterans in need of long-term care, antibiotics, and wound care. I served as a Charge Nurse on the night shift and day shift, received MDS training, and I am a PMDB trainer. I elevated from Nurse I to Nurse II during my evaluation period.

I am a driven registered nurse with several years of experience caring for patients within a long-term short-term care setting. Smoothly deliver comprehensive patient care and delegate tasks according to patient needs and personnel skillsets. Dedicated to providing top quality care within multidisciplinary team environment.

I am a compassionate Registered Nurse, offering a background in dialysis critical care, hospice, and geriatrics. Known for providing personalized patient care; skilled at coordinating with healthcare professionals to advance quality of life for diverse populations. Significant impact made by implementing proactive health management measures in prior roles. Along with my nursing degree and my skills and talents as a caregiver, I feel that I will be a benefit to your facility.
