WORK EXPERIENCE

Staff FNP

House Call Doctors of Texas- Austin, TX.- July 2013 to present

Serve as Primary Care Physician to homebound patients and to patients in

facilities. Most the patients that I serve are elderly and have multiple

chronic health issues. Responsibilities include obtaining H&Ps, assessing

relevant positive and negative clinical findings, planning and coordinating

plan of care based on clinical assessment findings, ordering and

interpreting needed tests and screenings, ordering pharmacological and non-

pharmacological treatments, evaluating efficacy of plan of care at each

visit, refilling patient medications, making referrals to specialists when

indicated, ordering home health disciplines when indicated, and doing face

to face visits for both home health services and durable medical equipment.

Other responsibilities include participation in provider meetings, quality

assurance, and call rotation.

FNP Clinical Rotation

Legacy Primary Care Clinic - Shenandoah, TX - April 2011 to April 2012

In conjunction with my physician preceptor and clinical faculty from UTMB,

I gained additional experience in

doing H&Ps, assessing the health status of clients with both acute and

chronic health problems, assessing family

dynamics, structure, and available resources. Also, under the direction of

my clinical preceptor Dr. H. Al-Khadour

M.D. Board Certified Internal Medicine, we worked up medically complex

patients and developed problem lists

on patients that were often referred to the clinic from other medical

providers. Dr. Al-Khadour is very good at

teaching and pointing out clinical features of clinical situations and

diagnoses that are often beyond the scope

of family practice providers to diagnose and treat appropriately. I ordered

test, other diagnostic procedures, and

consultations with other specialists as needed. Also, I prescribed

medications and other therapeutic modalities

to treat and/or relief the symptoms of our clinical patients. Again, I did

a lot of patient and family education and

anticipatory guidance in my role as a senior student nurse practitioner.

Also, I had the unique opportunity in this

clinic to assist with development of skills in the clinic's back office

staff in such areas as infusion therapy, 12 lead

ECG interpretation, and assisting with administration of trigger point

injections.

FNP Clinical Rotation

Maternal & Family Clinic - Conroe, TX - August 2009 to April 2011

In conjunction with my physician preceptors and clinical faculty from UTMB,

I gained experience in doing H&Ps,

assessing the health status of clients, assessing family structure,

dynamics, available resources, developing patient

problem lists, working clients up to assist in ruling in/out various

differential diagnoses, ordering of tests, other

diagnostic procedures, and consultations with other medical providers as

needed or warranted. Also, after gaining

additional experience in this role, I began to prescribe medications and

other therapeutic modalities for our patients

under the supervision of my clinical preceptors. Also, I did a lot of

patient/parent education and anticipatory

guidance in my role as a student nurse practitioner. The main patient

populations that I provided care to during this

rotation were pediatric patients under the direction of Dr. Krenie Stowe

M.D., J.D. and patients requiring women's

health services under the direction of Dr. Marian Allen M.D.

the Pharmacy Manager and the Director of Nursing to ensure that our self-

study, which included audits of patient

charts, policies, and education of field staff were congruent with the

was successful and resulted in full

accreditation. I also served as a preceptor to field staff and performed

field visits as well. I managed and instructed

patients and family members on such therapies as home administration of

total parental nutrition (TPN), home

inotropic infusion therapy, and intravenous antibiotics and antivirals.

Also, I administered biological and chemotherapies

in the home and at other alternative care sites. I instructed our field

staff on care of peripheral, central,

tunneled, and implanted vascular access devices in both our adult and

pediatric patient populations. I was hired in

promotion to Assistant Director of Nursing.
