WORK EXPERIENCE Cardiac Telemetry Registered Nurse
Palmetto Health Heart Hospital: Murray Suite
Columbia, SC 29203
Nurse Manager: William Woods, RN
February 2009-Present
Delightfully, skillfully, and respectfully provide and
coordinate high-quality, compassionate care for an
assignment of four monitored patients on a high paced
floor with frequent patient turnover. Cardiac telemetry
nurses are required to assess and use impeccable judgment
to clearly and effectively communicate needs and changes
in status with every patient's physician, family, and the
members of various procedure areas to ensure smooth
patient progression from admission to proper diagnosis,
effective treatment, and appropriate discharge, with
scheduled follow up. Patients' cardiac diagnoses include
acute coronary syndrome, acute myocardial infarction,
systolic and diastolic heart failure both compensated and
decompensated, ventricular arrhythmias, and atrial
arrhythmias. Cardiac telemetry nurses also recover
patients from cardiac catheterizations, ablations, and
pacemaker implantations. They titrate medication drips
including nitroglycerin, heparin, argatroban, insulin,
amiodarone, cardizem, dopamine and dobutamine and perform
basic life support and advanced cardiac life support as
needed in acute situations. Additionally, cardiac
telemetry nurses educate patients on their current health
status; effective health promotion strategies; medication
effects, interactions, and side effects; pre and post
procedural care; safe and effective home care; warning
signs of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure
exacerbation, as well as how and when to seek care if
these symptoms occur.

COMMUNITY SERVICE Capitol City Big Band
Principal Bass Trombonist, May 2009-present
The Capitol City Big Band is a 19 member jazz ensemble
located in Columbia. We are comprised of professional
and semi-professional musicians who willingly donate
their time and talent to play jazz at retirement homes
and charity events to raise money for organizations
such as Meals on Wheels and Harvest Hope Food Bank.
Tour De Cure
May 5, 2012 & May 4, 2013
In an effort to decrease the enormous health care
burden diabetes places on the American health care
system, I bicycled 100 miles to raise money for the
American Diabetes Association (ADA). Monies raised each
year are used to fund research that will hopefully
assist the ADA in finding a "cure" for diabetes. I plan
to participate annually.
