RN I

BERKSHIRE NURSING AND REHAB - Pittsfield, MA

January 1989 to February 1996

accepted the challenge of being an ADON for a 230 skilled nursing facility with a sub-acute unit. Within a year I was promoted to the DON. I found it to be a rich and valuable learning environment where I gained excellent assessment skills, and received firsthand experience with complex health problems including learning to work as an interdisciplinary team member. This nursing home closed down in the summer of 2000 due to financial reasons. However, starting at this level gave me the confidence, sound clinical skills and sheer enthusiasm to continue learning new areas of nursing. Always willing to learn a new field in nursing. I focused my interest in travel nursing. Education
