CAREER SUMMARY

More than a decade of experience as a registered nurse with experience in pediatric long-term pulmonary and vent care, outpatient hemodialysis, home modalities, as well as home health care. Management skills, which have effectively trained me to be conscientious of cost and profit margins, while still keeping the patient satisfaction and outcome rates superior. Most recently, I am currently employed by the Veteran’s Health Administration, which has allowed me to hone my assessment skills, leading to quality improvement and efficient care for the veterans. Adept at coordinating multiple medical services to ensure the highest level of quality care, I excel at diagnosing and treating diverse conditions, driving disease and illness prevention, and educating patients and family members to ensure optimal ongoing care. I use evidenced based practices to give my patients recent proven techniques, and ensure proper care. I look forward to a new chapter in my career as a nurse practitioner.
