SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS NURSING DUTIES

Responsibilities at Memorial Vein Center include consulting and screening patients for varicose veins surgery and spider veins sclerotherapy. Additional duties include preparing patients for surgery, starting IVs for conscious sedation, recovering patients after their surgical procedure and following up with patients post-operation.

Duties as a Family Nurse Practitioner have consisted of providing primary care to pediatric and adult patients. I obtain health and medical histories of patients, execute age-based physical examinations, perform preventative screening tests, which can include vision, hearing and laboratory tests. I identify any risks the patient may have and outline needs of the patient. I promote and provide health education. I also order diagnostic tests appropriate to patient’s needs and evaluate patient’s health, medical history, and diagnostic tests to assist with diagnosing, and I prescribe medications as necessary to promote prompt healing.

Responsibilities as a Registered Nurse Care Manager for WellNet Interactive consisted of health consultations to all Brownsville Independent School District employees. I provided care management outreach and support within the scope of “member engagement” as defined by WellNet Interactive operational processes; adherence to “best practices” and evidenced based guidelines in developing member engagement strategies and communication, as well as participate in on site health fairs and related services arranged as requested.

Duties in dialysis included being in charge of general patient care, operation of the dialysis equipment, performing routine medical procedures, and educating patients. I dealt with specific patient care, read detailed medical charts, administered medications and accounted for medications used, arranged for follow-up appointments and reported to upper management and/or physicians as needed.

Duties in Home Health Care as a RN Case Manager included providing direct patient care to include skilled assessments, initial admissions, re-evaluations, post-hospitalization assessments and discharges for a variety of patients. I formulated and individualized patient plans of care, and participated in coordination of care between direct patient care staff, directors of nurses, administrators, physicians, therapists and Medical Social Workers.
