PROFILE
I am currently employed by Stanford University Medical Center where I am a staff RN on two
intermediate critical care units. The patient population on one of these units consists of renal
transplant, reconstructive plastic surgery, digit reimplantation, and trauma patients. The other
unit is a cardiac thoracic surgical unit where I care for patients who have undergone surgeries
and procedures such as CABG, valve replacement, ablation, pacemaker placement, Whipple,
Ivor Lewis, Thoracotomy, EVAR, and heart and lung transplant. Both units also accept medical
patients who require cardiac monitoring. On both units I frequently work as the Resource RN.
In this role I coordinate patient care for all of the patients on the unit, collaborate with the
staffing department to assure that the following shift is staffed as necessary, and act as a
resource to the other RNs who are caring for patients on the unit. I am also a Super User for
EPIC which is the electronic documentation system that is currently used at Stanford. I serve
on the Transplant Committee and also as a Service Excellence Champion for both of our units.
My objective for applying for a position at San Jose Regional Medical Center is to obtain per
diem employment on a medical, surgical, or telemetry nursing unit where my skills as a
registered nurse will be challenged and enhanced while having the opportunity to deliver
quality patient care.
