registered nurse icu resume example with 8+ years of experience
Organized and resourceful Registered Nurse with over nine years of experience in hospital setting. I have worked on various telemetry/ med-surg units for approximately eight years, with a year and a half of that spent as a charge nurse on the telemetry unit. I have spent the last year and four months in an ICU setting at a level 2 trauma center in the Overland Park, KS area and I recently received my TNCC certification, and have been trained to take the post op open heart patients. I am especially skilled at placing IV's and have been trained to place ultrasound guided IV's. The ICU I am currently working at gets a variety of different patients and I feel like I have learned a lot in the last year of working here. I enjoy teaching new nurses and have trained several new grads/ nursing students. I am a team player, I believe to have a successful unit you must have teamwork. I love to learn and am excited to receive new education in my field when offered.
