Professional Summary
I have worked as a Nurse for 15 years. During this time I have been responsible for managing nurses at both Methodist Hospital and here at VVRMC. During this time I was responsible for supervising nursing staff in a hospital setting. This included overseeing patient care, making management decisions about personnel on staff, managing conflict between nursing staff and responding to concerns from patients and their family members, setting work schedules, coordinating meetings, auditing charts, enforcement of JCAHO standards etc. I worked closely with all of our physicians and case managers to coordinate continued care for our patients even after they were discharged from our care.
My current position here at Val Verde County Detention Facility in Val Verde County has enabled me to work in a different aspect of nursing. Currently my responsibilities include everything from intake, continued care of chronically ill patients, auditing charts, passing medications, responding to our medical emergencies, training new staff to our facility and processes at Geo, and managing\responding to our sick calls for the facility.
