CASEY COMPTON
Murray
Summary
Dedicated and mission-driven critical care nurse with a strong foundation in high-acuity environments, including critical care units, emergency departments, air medical transport, and military field medicine. Skilled in managing complex hemodynamics, ventilator support, and advanced trauma interventions. A natural leader and educator, having precepted new nurses and facilitated clinical skill development in both civilian and military settings. My experiences stabilizing critically ill patients in resource-limited rural settings and coordinating safe transfers have strengthened my autonomy, adaptability, and commitment to clinical excellence. I am now pursuing a career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist to further elevate my impact in patient care through advanced practice and anesthesia leadership.
