I am a dedicated and experienced registered nurse with a strong commitment to enriching the health and well-being of patients and their families. My professional mission is to provide and advocate for positive patient outcomes through high-quality, evidence-based care, while ensuring patient privacy and rights. I am passionate about mentoring colleagues and fostering a collaborative environment to achieve the highest standards of care.
As a charge nurse on a busy 24-bed med/surgical unit, I manage, collaborate, and assign care to ensure patients receive high-quality, evidence-based care for positive outcomes. I perform unit audits, engage in staff morale activities, train staff on equipment and processes, coach new staff, and mentor assigned staff members.
Managed a 40-bed orthopedic unit, ensuring high-quality care for postoperative patients. Participated in the code and rapid response teams, performed unit audits, trained staff, and mentored team members.
Worked at various hospitals in the Salt Lake Valley, including a year-long contract at Primary Children's Hospital. Floated to critical care units and med/surgical floors, providing care to infants and other patients as needed.
Worked two eight-hour evening shifts throughout the hospital to fill shortages, excluding mom/baby units.
Trained in critical care areas including ICU, CCU, ER, and step-down ICU. Worked in ICU as a code team member and later moved to the step-down unit for patient/family education.
Supervised care provided by nursing assistants, administered medications, performed assessments, and coordinated care with interdisciplinary staff.
