1.5 years experience on telemetry/medical-surgical unit.

10 years experience in Recovery Services. There are five areas in Recovery Services that I was trained and proficient in: preoperative holding room, PACU, ambulatory recovery room (phase II of recovery), Pain Management Center, and Pre admission testing. I was responsible for assessing patient's prior to surgery for possible complications/issues that may arise, preparing them for surgery (starting IV, obtaining labs, vitals, etc.), and recovering them in both phases of recovery including excellent airway management and pain management. I also staffed the pain management center in which I assisted with various injections and programming and refilling intrathecal pumps.

As charge nurse of the outpatient recovery/outpatient clinic area I had to oversee multiple employees under me. This included other nurses, a secretary, and transporter. I had to coordinate lunch breaks, patient assignments to appropriate nurses, as well as scheduling our clinic patients in appropriate block scheduling. I had to collaborate with doctor's offices that wanted to send patients to us as well as talk with insurance companies regarding pre-certifications for those patients. I had to be highly organized, efficient, and work in a fast-paced environment during my time as charge nurse.
