**************@*****.***
I have learned a range of skills during my 5+ years of nursing experience. As a LPN-IV in a hospital setting, I provide nursing care to diverse populations. I have developed the ability to think on my feet and to problem-solve. I also have excellent organizational skills with the flexibility required to adjust to rapidly changing schedules. Frequently shifting priorities to better manage a patient's needs, is just part of my everyday responsibility as a med/surg team nurse. I also have experience in the area of post surgical /recovery, private care duty nursing in patients homes and nursing home experience. Paying excellent attention to detail, making safety a priority and maintaining high integrity is just a few of my qualities.
