I have been a Registered Nurse (RN) since 1992 with my primary specialty in women’s health, nursery, labor and delivery, mother baby care. I have also worked with surgical patients, and hospice. I currently have ACLS, NRP, BLS, STABLE, and Intermediate FHM certifications. I believe in being a team player with my fellow employees to make a no stressful job more palatable and enjoyable. I am willing to move anywhere for the right position.
