Being a nurse for the past 34 years has brought extreme joy and satisfaction to my career. My work history includes the Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department, Cardiac Cath Lab, charge nurse in all areas, Interim Manager to the Cath Lab and Clinical Coordinator/Manager of the ICU. Healthcare has given me perspective towards people, cultures and religions. The knowledge that I have gained over the years has helped developed my critical thinking skills as well as becoming more understanding, compassionate and respectful. I hope I have the chance to grow with your team, concur new challenges and gain knowledge to advance my career.

ACTIVITIES:
In my spare time I enjoy making and designing quits, crocheting and spending time with my grandchildren. As a travel nurse I really enjoyed going to new places and experiencing new adventures, see sites, tasting the different foods and the amazing cultural behaviors I learn. I also enjoy volunteering for lower income or elderly patients that need medical assistance. While in Alaska, a great deal of my volunteering time was with doing assessments and drawing lab work for patients from the bush country.
I have Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support certifications. I hold licenses from Texas (compact), and California.
I hope to be able to work with your company in the future.
