Effingham
Summary
I am compassionate about the Nursing profession, demonstrating exemplary skills in direct patient care and healthcare team support. With 30+ years of superior healthcare experience, most of that time spent in the operating room and clinic setting. I enjoy patient teaching prior to procedures, helping during procedures, with my First Assist skills and then seeing patients for post operative, during the recovering period. I am currently working in a specialty clinic with general, plastic, podiatry and orthopedic surgeons and assisting as a RNFA. Having worked with the surgeons at SBL Bonutti Clinic, I believe I would be a good addition to your great, hardworking team.
