    Work Experience
    Bronson Methodist Hospital (1997 - Present)
    Registered Nurse (2001 - Present)
    Kalamazoo, MI

    Radiology Nursing Department 2008 - Present
    Staff Nurse, Charge Nurse, Phone Nurse, and Preceptor
    I manage the care of patients needing sedation for outpatient and inpatient procedures
    including biopsies, tube placements, MRI scans, and angiogram/angioplasty. I am
    responsible for the patients work-up, sedation, and recovery. Additionally, I circulate
    and assist anesthesia with complex interventional radiology cases. I am able to work
    independently and autonomously, needing very little direction and making complex
    decisions daily. I have learned the radiology patient throughput, and I assess and
    schedule radiology patients from order to table. When in charge, I run the nurse and
    physician schedule, and prioritize the tasks for both groups. I am also actively involved
    in the peer interview process, as well as multiple committees.


    Surgical Intensive Care, Trauma Care, and Burn Unit 2003 - 2008
    Staff Nurse, Charge Nurse, and Preceptor
    I was a bedside nurse for critically ill and injured patients, as well as being in charge of
    the daily operations of the unit. I managed: multiple medication drips, intubated patients,
    sedation for procedures, patients with neurological injuries, major burns, medically
    complex individuals, and organ donations. I learned to handle delicate family situations
    while providing family centered care. I was the chair of the patient education committee
    overseeing the improvement of patient education in the Trauma Care/Burn Unit.
    Additionally, I was an active member of the staffing committee. I was also routinely
    involved in the peer interviewing process for new employees, as well as participating in
    annual leadership training. It was in this unit that I learned how to run a busy unit and
    manage nursing staff.

    General Surgical Unit 2001 - 2003
    Staff Nurse and Preceptor
    I learned to manage the care for five to ten post-operative patients with a high volume of
    discharge and admissions. In this unit, I developed organizational skills, multitasking,
    patient care competences, interpersonal skills, and conflict resolution abilities.

    Certifications
    I have completed and maintained the following certifications: Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS),
    Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS), and Advanced Trauma
    Critical-Care Nursing (ATCN).

    Activities
    Active volunteer for the American Cancer Society in the Cancer Resource Center, educating newly
    diagnosed cancer patients about their disease, 2009-Present.

    Volunteer Professional Nurse and Counselor for the Lakeland Reformed Church Vacation Bible School,
    2006-Present.

    Active member of shared governance, the staff education committee, and the forms committee.

    Participating member of the American Nurses Association (ANA).
