Re: Travel Position

Dear Recruiter:

Thank you for taking the time to review my qualifications and credentials. I believe that you will find my experiences unique and representative of the type of candidate that you are seeking. Understanding that travel assignments are generally based on a candidate’s last two years of employment, I will concentrate the description of my professional experiences on supporting my knowledge and skills as an adult and geropsych nursing specialist., I held positions from a from the start of my career in 1976 as the nursing member of a team that included a social worker delivering home psych services, to nursing manager positions in acute and long term psychiatric facilities that treat acute and chronic mental illness as well as addition. I also taught nursing students current practice as a course coordinator for community health and clinical instructor in psychiatric nursing. Over the past three years, I returned to clinical practice delivering direct care as a charge nurse and house supervisor for Haven Behavioral Health of Eastern PA. My greatest value for any company lies not only in my expansive experience in health care in the USA and internationally, but also in a broad range of acute inpatient and outpatient care settings for psychiatry. In these roles, I not only mastered care delivery, but clinical decisionmaking for triage and coordination of care services. Although education beyond the RN is also not generally a consideration, it is important to note that advanced professional education combined with global cross cultural are critical elements for assignment success in healthcare today. I look forward to finding working with you to identify assignments that offer mutual benefit. Thank you again,

In these roles, I not only mastered care delivery, but clinical decisionmaking for triage and coordination of care services. Most recently, I am the founding Director of Behavioral Health for Salem Medical Center who obtained Department of Health licensure for their new 26 bed voluntary unit. I look forward to working with you to identify the scope and range of the contributions that I can provide your clients. Thank you again,

Course Coordinator, NUR415 Nursing

the Family & Community

Coordination and restructure of a 5-credit senior level pre- licensure nursing course with the provision of theoretical, didactic instruction, and site supervision of five adjunct-led clinical sites located within greater Reading, PA. The emphasis of this pre-licensure course was on synthesis and integration of didactic and clinical principles of community nursing with integration of foundational knowledge gained from

prerequisites: NUR 315, NUR 317 to practice readiness in needs assessment for services and to develop student capacity to plan wellness and health promotion programming activities for individuals, families and community groups. A key outcome of the course was to develop an entry level understanding of the comprehensive responsibility of RNs in developing, coordinating, and delivering services that improve health outcomes and quality of life within the cultural context of the populations they will serve. The course design focused on collaboration, community assessment, resource

identification, advocacy, leadership, and care coordination within a variety of community settings. The course framework offered a variety of opportunities for observation, assessment, planning of health promotion activities with culmination in a community health fair at a central site. The writing enhanced course provided three classroom hours of theoretical instruction per week and a total of eighty-four supervised clinical practice hours.
