Registered Nurse

Employed as a registered nurse to provide occupational health services to a

Pharmaceutical company located in Coppell, Texas. Assisted in the establish-

ment of this clinic as it was a new service to the facility. My role is to treat acute

occupational injuries and illnesses, provide health counseling for those who

have questions about conditions they may be experiencing and guiding them to

the appropriate resources to have those issues addressed. I work to facilitate

the return to work process for employees with work related injuries, as well as

coordinate the return to work process for those who have had exposures to

COVID or the actual illness. Maintain a spread sheet of all illnesses onsite and

guide employees on how to return to work. Worked with the SHE department

to develop policy and procedure for Respiratory Fit Testing. Responsible for

maintaining up to date records on all employees requiring fit testing and ensure

they have completed the required medical evaluations and respirator training

and fit testing. I have also provided blood pressure and cholesterol screenings

as part of a health fair and counseling to the participating employees regarding

their results. Coordinated flu clinics and educated staff on benefits of obtaining

the vaccination. Health and wellness is an important focus at this company

therefore I participate on various company teams where a health care provider’s

input is needed and valued. Currently participate virtually with the GeLness

team, which has a focus on Health and Wellness, and the SHE Core Team

which focuses on safety and health issues that may affect the different work

areas. Prior to COVID, participated in Tier 1 meetings (change of shift) for

of events, illnesses, or injuries occurring over night and to share information

related to upcoming SHE or clinic events. Ergonomics is a growing area of

interest and need at the facility and have collaborated with other SHE

professionals and an ergonomist to develop an ergonomic program here. Have

obtained computer based ergonomic training. Maintain all records related to

employees who are seen at the clinic, as well as records required for the running

of the clinic. Maintained contact with Concentra physicians for guidance as
