Worked as a labor and delivery RN and postpartum couplet RN as my previous experience entails. 01/2015 – 06/2018 Canyon Vista Medical Center (CVMC), Sierra Vista, AZ Continue to be a charge nurse and mentor to my fellow peers and staff. Helped facilitate the move from Sierra Vista Regional Health Center (SVRHC) to CVMC. I actively participated in development and implementation of shared governance and assigned teams to carry out each individual tier. I helped to set up and educate team members on shoulder dystocia drills and other educational crisis drills. I continue to further my education by doing Peri-facts and Lippincott assignments. When staffing allows I have also furthered my skills by orienting in the Emergency Department. This I feel not only helps the ED, but helps me to be a better person when it comes to emergency situations on our unit. 08/2006-01/2015 , SVRHC, Sierra Vista, AZ Duties included those of a licensed practical nurse (LPN) along with admission and assessment of laboring patients, caring for women during and after birth. Assisting providers with patient care and clear effective communication regarding patient status. Assisting the anesthesiologists with epidural placement and airway management if needed. Other duties included recovery of the mom and/or baby, postpartum, antepartum and gynecological patients. I educated patients on proper care for them and their newborn baby, reviewing and encouraging breastfeeding and looking for signs of postpartum depression. I can manage high-risk patients to include risk for preterm delivery, insulin drip patients, pre-eclamptic mothers, postpartum hemorrhage, and assist the neonatal intensive care nurses with coding a baby and post management. In December 2008, I was fortunate enough to become a charge nurse for the unit. Duties for this include providing staffing assignments in a safe and fair manner to maximize productivity. I was able to effectively manage a full 1 of 2 assignment when needed and ask for help in worst case scenario. I assure that my fellow team members have had breaks for lunch or snack. I communicate well with the healthcare team, and feel anyone can come to me should they have an issue. I round on patients to ensure they are being taken care of properly and have no complaints or issues that I could help resolve. When at the desk I am constantly observing the central monitor to assure that my fellow team members aren’t in need of immediate assistance. Licensed Practical Nurse 12/2005-08/2006, SVRHC, Sierra Vista, AZ My duties included taking care of new mothers and babies. Here I recovered the newly delivered mother from a cesarean section or vaginal birth. Educated her on how to care for herself and her newborn baby. Encouraged and promoted breastfeeding and reviewed signs and symptoms of postpartum depression. I also transitioned a newborn baby into extra-uterine life, which are the golden hours just after delivery. I bathed newborn babies and assisted the pediatrician in circumcisions. I was also trained how to care for gynecological patients and non- critical antepartum patients. Certified Nursing Assistant 01/2003-12/2005, SVRHC, Sierra Vista, AZ Here I started my healthcare career in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where I was trained to be an EKG technician along with being a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I could read and measure EKG’s available upon request and measure EKG’s on the ICU floor and Telemetry Unit. As a technician and CNA I could place orders, consults, assist the nurses with vital signs, intake and outputs, linen changes, turning patients, post-mortem care, stock the floor and rooms, and called overhead for codes along with assisting in codes. After 6 months of working in ICU, I began working on the Maternal/Child floor doing similar duties as in the ICU, but more specific to the unit. Such duties included setting up delivery tables, cleaning up after deliveries, checking emergency equipment, vitals on newborn babies, bathing babies, and helping the providers with procedures. I did hearing screens, pictures and stocked the nursery.
