Cell: PHONE NUMBER AVAILABLEEMAIL AVAILABLEI am an experienced Registered Nurse that is licensed in North Dakota. I have been working in the healthcare field for 30+ years (I was a candy striper at ages 11 and 12). I worked in CNA roles for 9 years prior to nursing school. Those 9 years were primarily spent assisting adults with developmental disabilities. I have 14 years as an Licensed Practical Nurse and 7 years as an RN.I have worked mainly in rural areas of South East North Dakota. I bring up my time in rural North Dakota to emphasize that as an LPN in rural facilities I was in leadership and independent roles. Very independent roles such as being the only nurse in family practice satellite clinics and performing clinic duties; X-ray, lab draws with prepping labs for transport, and assist with scheduling, answering phones, and manage all medication including samples. I have lots of experience working with people of all ages, special needs and developmental capabilities.I have experience with the pediatric population during my time in the family practice clinics. However, I have 3 years of working with the Pediatrician in Jamestown whom treated patients special needs, as she was the medical director of Anne Carlson School. We had a Medical Home program and I served as the Medical Coordinator.I feel I would be a great fit for the Nurse Navigator position. I bring a lot of experience, skills and am very personable with my patients, parents and coworkers. I am presently taking a Medical Coding and Billing course which will also be an asset in a navigation position.SKILLSSeptember 25th, 2023 to presentTriage RN- RheumatologySanford Health- SouthpointeWORK DUTIES:Monitor and answer phone/ patient messages for Rheumatology providersPatient teaching- new medications, braces, after injection careAdministration of flu and COVID vaccinesInitiate Prior Authorization and appeals for medications on behalf of patienthandle incoming and outgoing orders for pharmacy, specialty pharmacies, healthcare agents, forms for patient assistance, etc.Set up and assist providers with injections, worms dressings, gathering specimens for laboratory studiesAssist with rooming patients as neededMedical Record researchAccess and perform duties with the EPICSystem4 year gap- unable to work due to tick borne illnessNovember 2017 to January 2019Wound/HBO RNJamestown Regional Medical Center-Jamestown, NDWound assessment per formatted wound assessment forms in EMRPatient evaluation per Epic EMRCirculation testing in arms and legsSet up patients testing in outside clinic servicesPerform wound care per providers orderSet up home supplies, medications and home care if needed for patientReview plan for care, instructions and appointments with patientResearch patients Medical records for candidacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) administrationAssessment with provider of patient physical candidacy for HBO treatmentsOrientation of patient to HBO therapyMonitor patients before, during and after HBO treatmentsTrain and maintain HBO technicians certification to administer HBO therapyPerform and monitor HBO tank cleaning, checks and maintenanceWork with wound clinic teamAttend and participate in weekly and monthly wound clinic meetings to evaluate patients progress and data.November 2016 to November 2017Part A Medical Review RNNoridian Healthcare Solutions- Fargo, NDReview Part A medical claims for Medicare patients per CMS auditsResearch patients records for appropriate documentation by provider/staffing to justify appropriate care/testing/medications, etc.Per CMS instructions determine approval or denial of facility claim for reimbursementNote and cite CMS references supporting decisionsDocument completed case reviewCompile case review data per facility and education on denials with plan for improvementParticipate in weekly and monthly team meetings reviewing particular cases with medical directorsKeep detailed timeline of work activities throughout the shiftFamiliar with researching HCPCS, ICD-9, CPT codesApril 2016 to January 2017Med/Surg/Swing Bed NurseMercy Hospital- Valley City, NDReceived report for assigned patients for shiftAssessment of patients working with point of care chartingReporting patients status and clinical data to rounding providerTake orders from providers and assign/ follow ordersAdmission assessmentsDischarge instructions and information for resourcesInterpret patient's data and status to monitor for changes, stability, and outcomesAssist patients with activities such as ambulation, bathroom needs, eating, symptom management per provider orders, etc.Administration of medications per provider ordersDocument all activities involved in patient careGive report to incoming shift nurseNovember 2014 to April 2016Director of NursingThe Legacy Place Valley City, NDAssessed need for, obtained and interpreted appropriate lab tests.Oversaw and managed 13 support staff in resident care activities while maintaining a high level of staff morale and professionalism.Self-directed with astute judgment skills.
