My professional experience commenced with community service and volunteer work with the Zion Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Miami. I fruitfully organized annual community medical services and health fairs. Later, for four years, I served forty hours per week as an LPN at The Palace within Kendall Nursing Home and Rehab in Miami, Florida. I competently worked with RNs to provide geriatric patients with quality care. Afterward, for three years, I was deployed at Parkway Hospital and Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, working forty hours a week as an RN in critical care. I offered quality care to patients in critical condition, conducted a physical assessment of the sick, and developed care plans.

Between April 2003 and December 2004, I was employed at University Hospital and Medical Center in Tamarac, Florida, as an RN in the ICU. I worked for forty hours a week, providing optimal care for patients in the hospital’s ICU wing. I immensely helped physicians with minor procedures, including arterial line insertions, Quinton catheters, and endotracheal intubation, among others. I swiftly responded to rapid response emergencies within the facility and monitored persons with pain management devices and patients’ conditions after medical procedures. As part of an interdisciplinary team, I strongly advocated for patients through case management and social work.

From February 2005 to January 2008, I worked forty hours per week at Aventura General Hospital in Aventura, Florida, as an RN, ICU step-down. I effectively managed patients suffering from severe conditions such as hemorrhage and acute stroke. I keenly monitored patients placed on PCA pumps, drips, as well as PICC and CVP lines. For five years before joining the hospital, I worked forty-eight hours a week as an RN at Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah, Florida. At the facility’s 56-bed Intermediate Care/Tele Unit, I competently supervised certified nursing assistants. I expertly developed and reviewed health care plans, as well as managed all renal, diabetic, hypertensive, and cardiac patients.

More recently, between January 2015 and January 2016, I worked forty hours a week as an RN Telemetry/ER Overflow at the Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines, Florida. At the facility, I delivered primary optimal nursing care to sick persons with intermediate/telemetry/ER overflow. I heartily assisted patients with personal and cultural needs that are linked to their well-being. I dutifully prepared and applied nursing plans of care based on the aforementioned needs. I successfully initiated therapeutic interventions to restore, promote and maintain health and used the Epic system for accurate and efficient nursing documentation.

My robust training and long-standing nursing experience have earned me multiple accreditations. At the core of licensure are public safety and a need for minimal aptitude in a group of nursing skills that licensed nurses should possess to proficiently provide quality care for a specified category of practice (Roux & Halstead, 2018). I have licensures and certifications from the Florida Board of Nursing Licensure which has certified me as both an RN and an APRN. Further, I am an approved FNP-BC by ANCC. I am proud to be certified by AANP as an FNP-C as well as BLS and recognized by both ACLS and PALS. The endorsements keep me a highly motivated, personable, and dependable professional with a strong passion for quality healthcare.
