About Me
As a RN, I have continued my education on the forefront of new technologies, and am currently enrolled in a MSN program and expect to graduate August 2013. My experience in my nursing career has placed me in a position of teaching and education to nurses, doctors and patients. At this point in my career, I would like to return to clinical aspect of patient care and am currently seeking a suitable position within my scope of practice where I can utilize my skills but still challenges me as a professional.
I have an extensive back ground in cardiology and electrophysiology which has given me experience in surgical/OR procedures, cardiac-cath lab, PACU, electrophysiology. Although my jobs have taken me outside the hospital, I still participate with patient care and education on weekly bases. During the years of research and development, I have worked closely in the electrophysiology labs with the doctors and staff during procedures. I have been training and have worked with ventilators, balloon pumps, hemodynamic monitory, and conscious sedation. I have also had expertise working in preclinical trial and clinical trials.
Currently seeking employment with mentorship that will foster growth as well as education to complement and expand my current knowledge base and experience. I am seeking collaboration with medical professionals to bring a more complete continuum of care to the patent population that is served by that physician and practice.
