Experience

Senior APRN

Heartland Hospice

-Implement and manage Heartland APRN hospice programs in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

-Responsible for hiring skilled APRN's and providing new hire orientation as well as ongoing education and mentoring.

-Train and supervise over 30 APRN's, leveraging excellent communication and leadership skills to create solid working relationships and improve overall patient care.

-Regularly evaluate employee performance, provide feedback, coaching, and disciplinary action when necessary.

-Serve as liaison between hospice agency administrators and APRN staff.

-Because Minnesota and Wisconsin allow APRN's to practice independently, Heartland Hospice has implemented a program where APRN's are allowed to be designated the "Attending Provider." APRN's are not allowed to bill Medicare unless in the "Attending Provider" role. Thus, I manage APRN's enrolled in this program and monitor quality initiatives.
