Interests: My extensive clinical experience as a staff nurse and manager in ICU and as a Case Manager in the private sector prepared me to be a successful Field Nurse for OWCP, including the intense and complicated needs of the most critically injured workers.
I am currently licensed in OR, WA, UT and CA, but will not renew ID and WA unless a suitable telephonic position is found. ID and/or WA could be renewed and additional licenses could be obtained. I would prefer the flexibility of being on contract, but would consider a PT or Per Diem position that would allow me to have a flexible schedule where I could work to meet the needs of my clients on a schedule that best fits their availability and needs.
