PMHNP-BC, Addiction Nursing
As a newly graduated PMHNP with a subspecialty in Addiction Nursing, I am passionate about providing compassionate and evidence-based care to individuals struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. My 4.5 years of experience as an RN at a dual diagnosis facility have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of these conditions and the challenges faced by individuals in recovery.
As an RN, I initiated the development and implementation of an SBAR-based admission guide for the nursing team, enhancing communication and improving the efficiency of the patient intake process. I also demonstrated strong leadership skills by efficiently managing the detox unit and the overall campus operations during weekend shifts.
I am a warm and friendly medical professional with a compassionate and engaging demeanor. I am adept at utilizing motivational interviewing techniques, a patient-centered approach that empowers individuals to make informed decisions and actively participate in their treatment plans.
