Registered Nurse with 10+ years of experience, and 5 years of LPN experience prior to that. In my career, I have worked in acute care as well as hospice and home health care. I am detail-oriented, responsive and proficient in routine care and emergency response. I am looking for a more permanent part-time position where I can not only care for patients' immediate needs but be able to build a rapport that lasts with them throughout there course of treatment. I feel like a position in Cardiac rehab would allow me to combine my two favorite parts of nursing, acute care and being in a position where I am able to get to know my patients and can help them in a way that will affect more of their life besides just their immediate needs.
Skills
Excellent communication skills, and able to easily build a rapport with most patients.
Years of experience in acute care where I have dealt with multiple cardiac patients.
Willingness to learn and further my knowledge and skill set.
