My medical adventure kicked off at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where I mastered the art of tailoring care to meet everyone's individual health needs. I took my passion for top-notch care to Unitypoint Health Finley, navigating the dynamic setting of a Level 3 trauma teaching hospital with skill and precision. There, I learned that swift and personal care is key in a busy healthcare environment. At Bakersfield Heart Hospital, I focused on the rhythm of the heart, providing specialized care to those facing cardiac challenges. My journey also led me to Unitypoint Allen Waterloo Iowa and Bellevue Hospital New York, where I broadened my skills in medical-surgical and telemetry nursing with a strong emphasis on putting patients first.
