Experience
Director of Nursing05/2019 to CurrentAdvantage LivingWayne , MI

My clinical capabilities and passion to lead have allowed me to promote quickly within the corporation. As the Director of Nursing, I not only manage my building but am often called on by the Regional Support Team when other buildings need help with implementation, investigations, and mock surveys.

  • Lead a clinical staff of 48, fostering a supportive environment where growth and education regularly take place in order to provide the optimal patient experience in our 68 bed Skilled Nursing Facility.
  • Implement changes necessary to remain compliant with the ever changing CMS guidelines and this year- The new Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) implemented in November of 2019.
  • Pride myself as a point person for many members of the IDT that are not clinical due to my approachability.
  • Under my leadership we have attained 5 Stars in Quality Measures.
  • Along with the new administrator and Marketer, we have worked diligently to repair the facility relationship with the local hospital. Marked improvement can be seen by our census of 38 in April to 44 at this time.
  • Implemented ATB stewardship training and policies to adhere to guidelines, empower our nurses with alternate interventions and ways to approach physicians, and improve the quality of life for our residents
Assistant Director of Nursing10/2017 to 05/2019Senior Lifestyle CorporationPleasant Prairie , WI

As the Assistant Director of Nursing, I worked closely with all Interdisciplinary Team members. While assisting the DON with duties, an ADON is also a liaison between the management team and clinical staff- a Clinical HR, if you will. I was able to educate and lead the nursing staff through new clinical services, processes, administration changes, and day to day activities in a dynamic and ever changing environment by demonstrating correct implementation for all to see 100% of the time.

  • Worked closely with the Medical Director and Pharmacy to implement Phase 2 Guidelines implemented by CMS.
  • Kept pristine track of antipsychotic use in our facility and worked closely with medical director in attempt to reduce use and taper down regularly.
  • Carried out various investigations as needed; 1 particular investigation garnered recognition and phone call to myself and Regional Nurse from DEA Investigator for kudos on thorough and well articulated job well done in an investigation.
  • Monitored, Tracked, and Trended infections and incidents on monthly basis.
  • Implemented a shift change Huddle to give nurses and CNAs time for a clinical monitoring meeting once daily. It was a time for early recognition of resident changes and assignments to specific people for follow up.
RN, Charge Nurse10/2016 to 08/2017Care InitiativesRock Rapids , IA

I was a novel nurse in a swift work environment that provided me with abundant opportunities for growth in all areas. My preceptorship at Broadlawns Inpatient Psych Unit paved the way to build and maintain trusting relationships with a diverse patient body. The population was not that of your average rural nursing home and I gained experience with:

  • Administered oral, IV and intra-muscular medications and monitored patient reactions.
  • Managed PICC lines, midlines, new and established trachs, g-tubes, and suprapubic catheters.
  • Assessed and addressed various wounds and treatments of wounds
  • Completed pertinent paperwork and assessments for admissions, discharges, incident reports, and detailed charting.
  • Effectively de-escalate situations that arise between residents and/or staff.
  • Update care plans in timely manner based upon residents' changing conditions.
RN08/2016 to 10/2016Tower HealthWyomissing , PA

As a new nurse, Childserve was an amazing first stop with many great lessons in a short amount of time. There are people who are great overnight nurse. Praise them. I quickly found that I was not one of those people.

  • Maintained patent airways for children with special airway needs, including ventilators and trachs.
  • Performed appropriate assessments to determine state of child and interventions to take.
  • Educated patients and families on disease process and skills necessary to move forward whether that be home or another facility.
  • Provided detailed, accurate, and timely documentation of patient care and status to effectively communicate with all team members.
