I have over 24 years of healthcare experience. I am a Registered Nurse and a Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer. My experience in diagnostic imaging and the emergency department has helped me develop professional skills including critical thinking, problem solving, therapeutic communication, collaborative teamwork, and time management. This experience will enhance my skills as a registered nurse. I graduated from Hibbing Community College on Friday May 15th 2015 with my Associate of Science Degree in Nursing. During my time in the Nursing program, I volunteered to be the Treasurer of the Student Nurse Association and sat on the Hibbing Community College Student Life Budget Committee which assists in the management of individual department budgets. Along with that, I currently hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biology, an Associate of Science Degree in Cardiac Sonography, and a Certificate of Completion as an Emergency Medical Technician – Basic. Lastly, I recently completed the Advance Trauma Life Support course through the American College of Surgeons, the Adult Cardiac Rhythm Interpretation course through the American Heart Association, the Rapid STEMI Identification course through the American Heart Association, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale International certification. I am very anxious to begin my career in nursing. I have an excellent understanding of the healthcare process. Not just how the patient aspect of medicine works, but also how the billing, electronic medical records, and customer service ties into the entire healthcare picture.
