Alvernon Ambulatory Surgery Center

prepare patients for surgery ensuring all mandatory requirements are met by physicians (H & P, surgical and anesthesia consents). Solid IV skills. I am able to communicate effectively with pt's of all ages, realizing that patients level of understanding vary greatly. I have keen ability to relate to people and strongly believe in educating people to the level they desire will ease them through the surgical process. I am knowledgable in many outpatient surgical procedures and believe in beginning the discharge instructions while in the preop arena.Recover patients safely having had varried levels of anesthesia (RN local, MAC, general anesthesia) I have worked for 17 years in 4 outpatient surgery centers in my nursing carreer.

Alvernon Family Practice Clinic

Alvernon Family Practice clinic - Phone Triage RNAssisted patients with questions and concerns reguarding health related issues. Worked closely with physicians and staff to follow hospital and department protocols. Strong ability to determine level of care patient requires according to symptomology. Reviewed lab results for all patients in the clinic and informed appropriate physicians of need to follow up when urgent. I scheduled appointments for patients. I have become quite computer savy as multiple software systems were being used prior to the hospitals current EMR's. Having many years in the Urgent Care, I feel my triage skills are highly efficient.
