Experience

BAC, Boulder, CO

Registered Nurse Feb 2015 – Sep 2017

As an RN in this international women’s health facility, collaborated with nursing team and other staff to support patients through their 3- or 4-day surgical procedures, from pre-op counseling and surgical readiness assessments through operating room physician support to post-operative care and guidance. Built a consistent track record of implementing practice improvements by researching options, analyzing cost-effectiveness and efficacy, developing a proposal and business case to the physician- owner, and, upon approval, operationalizing in collaboration with staff. Such new protocols to improve patient care included:

n Providing patients non-skid socks for comfort and safety n Designing written Procedure Week Reminder Instructions to improve patient compliance with daily protocols

n Overhauling written After-Care Instructions to improve understanding, compliance and outcomes

n Replacing paper gowns with fabric gowns to improve patient comfort and dignity, practice economics, and environmental impact

n Adding narcotic pain control (i.e., Dilauded) in addition to standard use of Demerol, to improve patient comfort and surgical outcomes.

Smoothed practice workflow operations by learning and performing the following responsibilities, in addition to usual surgical nurse duties:

n Conducting pre-op counseling to assess surgical readiness, gather medical history, and prepare patients, followed by physician communication

n Performing and charting post-op tissue assessment n Cleaning and sterilizing surgical instruments using sterile wrapping procedure and autoclave n Performing local patients' four-week post-op exams n Performing and assessing patient transdominal ultrasounds.
