Operating Room Registered Nurse Resume Example
Hardworking Operating Room Nurse accustomed to treating diverse patient needs while managing dynamic conditions. Offering excellent clinical knowledge and judgment combined with strong documentation, vitals monitoring and problem-solving abilities. Well-versed in managing emergent cases with grace and efficiency.
Resourceful nursing professional with 25 years caring for patients and working closely with other healthcare staff. Well-rounded with diverse experience in operating and AIC unit. Talented at prioritizing tasks in busy settings. I developed skills of communicating with providers to meet the needs of the infusion care patients as well as surgical patients to manage patient care.
On a very personal note, I have cared for two family members with developmental delays and mental health issue. While working with my family members, learning the outside resources to coordinate their care and placement in assisted living facilities as well as job training for people with learning disabilities are just a few things i have helped to set up for my family members. These experiences have helped me to develop skills that I believe would make me a great candidate for the RN Intake Coordinator at the Jones Hill Hospital and Clinic.
Thank you Margaret Azevedo
