Skills
I graduated in 2010 from college with my respiratory degree. I've worked in a variety of departments such as the ER, ICU, TCU, Peds, labor and delivery, LTACH and Med Surg. I’ve worked an average of 3 days a week full-time for over 13 years. My passion was working for Home of the Innocence a LTACH pediatric hospital in Louisville, KY. I have taken care of a wide age range of patients from pediatrics to geriatric patients. I routinely took care of open-heart patients at KMC. I am seasoned with protocols, weaning parameters, ABG's, and extubating. I routinely was scheduled back in the OR or in the emergency department to assist the doctors and or surgeons in intubating/extubating patients. I am comfortable with my abilities when faced with a wide range of health care settings. I am most familiar, therefore most comfortable in different categories of ICU setting. Such as trauma ICU, Neuro ICU, and cardiac ICU. However, I am adaptive to work on all units with any tasks associated with respiratory therapy like handling the duties of suctioning, and interpreting arterial blood gases, or taking students.
