Work History
Midway University Midway, KY 01/16 to present

I serve as the university’s clinical instructor at various locations, teaching and guiding students
during their clinical rotation in Psychiatric Nursing.

I care for pediatric ventilator dependent patients in their homes, while working closely with
respiratory therapists and pediatricians.
Bradford Square Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation – Frankfort, KY 09/2105 to 05/14/16
RN Supervisor
I successfully manage the medical-surgical wing, delivering skilled nursing care to 26 residents,
performing IV administrations, tracheostomy care, colostomy and wound care, PEG tube
feedings, and PICC line dressing changes, all while managing other nurses and certified nursing
aids. I work with an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals and team members,
providing professional patient care, guided by care plan goals and best practices. I work closely
with physicians, carrying out both medication and treatment orders in a timely and professional
manner.
Treyton Oak Towers – Louisville, KY 01/15 to 09/2015
RN Supervisor/Staff Development Coordinator
In my role as a Staff Development Coordinator, I oversaw the training and education of all staff
as it related to patient care, improving clinical skills, facility policies and procedures, HIPPA
compliance, infection control and environmental and safety training. Prior to my arrival, my unit
had a staff turn-over rate, averaging the loss of 3 staff members each month. During my tenure,
staff retention rates improved by nearly 67% over a seven month period. Staff retention
improvements were a direct result of my ability to motivate personnel from all departments,
while implementing programs designed to motivate staff, while recognizing and showing
appreciation for work ethic, effort, patient satisfaction surveys, and good work attendance.
Full Time BSN Student – 01/2014 to 05/2015
VNA Home Health - Louisville, KY 06/13 to 12/2013
Home Health Nurse
I successfully case-managed 25 patients while adhering to strict protocols and OASIS guidelines
related to Medicaid and Medicare policies and procedures. I worked independently and I was
afforded a great deal of autonomy while delivering skilled nursing care to patients in the privacy
of their own homes. I was able to develop and maintain a professional, working relationship with
physicians, therapists, and patients and their family members, while gaining their trust and
confidence as their primary healthcare liaison. As a home health nurse, each nurse has to
demonstrate the ability to deliver competent nursing care independent of any supervision, while
demonstrating expanded knowledge and experience as a professional nurse.
Ridge Health and Behavioral Hospital - Lexington, KY 10/2012 – 5/2013
RN Supervisor
I successfully managed a 16 bed geriatric and Alzheimer unit while coordinating and managing
patient care in accordance with physician orders and facility safety policies. I successfully
designed and implemented care plans aimed at reducing the incidence of falls among our
confused and fragile patients, and continually assisted in reviewing patient medication orders in
order to curb the many risks associated with polypharmacy. I successfully met the physical,
mental, safety, and physiological needs of all patients, and responded to queries related to
psychotropic medication problems and mood and behavioral issues that fell within the nursing
scope of practice.
