Registered Nurse, Care/CMIC Resume Example Hennepin Healthcare

REGISTERED NURSE, CARE/CMIC

Summary

I have been a Registered Nurse for 30 years. Twenty nine of those years have been at Hennepin Healthcare on Care/CMIC formerly known as A6/B6. I enjoy working at a hospital with a diverse patient population. The fact that we operate as a safety net hospital is what I am most proud of. We turn no one away.

My years of experience working with cardiac and renal patients allows me the opportunity to act as a resource person on our unit. I am a member of our unit's “Excellence Council”. We address various concerns of our peers and management thereby improving work conditions and morale.

I strive to be a strong patient advocate and I am a firm believer that our patients come first. I often say that my goal is to always treat my patients the way that I would want my family member or loved one to be treated. Our patients deserve the best quality care possible.
