JO

JUDITH ODIGWE-BLAIR

*******@*****.*** 201-***-**** Upper Marlboro, MD

Summary

I'm a newly licensed nurse who brings focus, resilience, and a deep sense of purpose to patient care. My nursing education challenged me to think critically, adapt quickly, and advocate fiercely for patients. From med-surg and critical care to OB, peds, and mental health and I've embraced every part of that journey. I am deeply committed to giving patients not just treatment, but trust and comfort. I'm especially passionate about the ICU, med-surg and the operating room, but I'm open to any unit where I can continue growing and make a meaningful impact. I thrive in environments where teamwork, clear communication, and critical thinking matter, and I'm excited to bring that same energy into a nursing team that values growth, excellence, and compassion. I'm ready to keep learning, contribute meaningfully, and step into this next chapter with purpose and professionalism. Skills

Proficient in the use of healthcare tools such as Epic charting and knowledge of diagnostic imaging.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. Proficient in in providing excellent patient care, time management and multitasking, team collaboration and adaptability.
