I was the nurse for Dr. Patricia Thompson at Veterans Park location. We cared for Med/Peds patients. This opportunity gave me the skills to care for pediatric patients as well as older patients. This position gave me the ability to quickly establish rapport with patients and colleagues. Allowed me to order and read lab tests, x-rays, MRI, Ultrasound and EKG's to pts after review from MD. I authorized drug refills and provided detailed prescription information to pharmacies. I also collected blood, tissue and other laboratory specimens and prepared them for lab testing.
