Objective
Newly, board certified-family nurse practitioner (FNP-BC). Experience as an instructor for licensed practical nurse students. Worked as a dedicated registered nurse (RN) with experience in multiple areas of nursing care. Most recently, worked as a nurse on a medical surgical unit, caring for post-op, medical and psychiatric patients. I also served in the capacity of charge nurse and preceptor of new graduate RN’s. I have experience in labor & delivery/women healthcare/ well baby nursery, orthopedics, hematology/oncology, and methadone treatment management. Developed strong evaluation and treatment skills through on-site training in these departments. Having the opportunity to pour into and assist in preparing potential nurses (LPN’s), for the nursing profession, was a pleasure. I lead courses in Medical Surgical Nursing and Pharmacology. I have some experience in both classroom and online platforms.
Reliable, ethical team player. Proven ability to build positive relationships with patients, family members, physicians, other medical professionals, as well as other members of the team employed by the facility.
