Nurse Practitioner Urgent Care
Resume:
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with eight years experience in the acute care/hospital setting. I currently work in a busy urgent care as a solo provider. Prior to this I have worked with both the hospitalist group, ER observations unit, and in a chest pain center. During my previous clinical rotations and recent experience as a Nurse Practitioner, I have become skilled at managing daily patient volume in these patient care settings. I am also proficient in diagnosing, treating, educating, documenting, and record maintenance to ensure accuracy and patient confidentiality. I am a self motivated, highly skilled professional with a commitment to providing quality nursing care with strong organizational and communication skills. I am a flexible, quick learner who adapts easily to new situations, compassionate, and easy going. I have assisted other nurse practitioner students during their clinical rotations.
