Skills/Specialties
Having been an RN for twenty-six years, I have extensive and varied experience
not only in the nursing responsibilities of health care for individuals, but in making
appropriate decisions under pressure.
My twelve years of work in intensive care units and settings specializing in cardiac,
medical, surgical and cardiovascular surgery has given me unparalleled abilities in
working closely with physicians in achieving maximum response in patient
recovery.
Other areas of experience include Flight Nursing where I learned to administer care
under fairly unusual and difficult conditions.
Additional specialized experience was gained in my year of work in high risk labor
and delivery.
