Nicholasville, Kentucky, United States
My professional goal is to contribute my expertise to a healthcare system in Lexington, Kentucky, with a focus on furthering my professional and career growth. With a robust foundation as a Nurse Practitioner at US Anesthesia Partners in Austin, TX, I bring 12 years of experience in perioperative care. Proficient in the surgical process from pre-op to PACU, I am well-versed in ensuring a smooth workflow. I find fulfillment in educating patients, alleviating their fears and anxiety by providing clear expectations and explanations, fostering a sense of comfort. Building upon my 12 years of experience as a surgical nurse, with a focus on cardiothoracic/cardiovascular surgery for six of those years, I have developed a strong foundation in surgical care. During my Nurse Practitioner program, I dedicated 720 clinical hours to ICU rotations, allowing me to gain extensive experience in critical care settings. Additionally, I completed 140 hours of First Assist training in the Operating Room, further enhancing my skills in surgical procedures. I am licensed and proficient in suturing and providing surgical assistance. Being bilingual and fluent in Spanish, I possess effective communication skills that enable me to provide quality care to a diverse patient population. I have a deep understanding of the demands and challenges faced by today's healthcare system, where the delivery of efficient, cost-effective, and safe care is crucial. As I plan to relocate to Lexington, Kentucky this April, 2024, I am actively seeking employment opportunities in the area. I am eager to contribute my expertise, dedication, and passion. I would appreciate the opportunity to work where I can continue to grow professionally while delivering exceptional patient care.
