Summary
Compassionate Registered Nurse with a background in hospice and orthopedic care. From working in a calm, slower environment to a fast-paced, 44-bed orthopedic unit, I provide patients with the best care possible. Strengths include assessment skills and medication administration, as well as empathetic conversations with patients to make them feel safe, and collaborating with the medical team to ensure patients receive the most effective care.
