Summary
Registered Nurse, BSN, with over 23 years of clinical experience within various specialties, but a strong focus on critical care and emergency medicine. My expertise encompasses emergency care, critical care transport, and advanced life support for patients of all ages. As a motivated and detail-oriented nurse, I thrive in fast-paced, multidisciplinary settings, where I contribute to optimizing patient outcomes and ensuring adherence to high standards of care and EHR/EMR evidence based clinical documentation. My goal is to provide my proven clinical judgment, communication skills and leadership to an organization that also prioritizes optimizing patient care and outcomes in order to provide the highest level of clinical care and support. I recently transitioned from bedside care to assist in opening a new call center at 3M specialty clinics at SF General. This is a temporary assignment, but includes experience in remote telephonic nurse triage. At this time, I am open to new opportunities outside of acute and critical care settings.
