Summary

As a dedicated and compassionate psychiatric nurse with 6 years of experience, I have honed my skills in providing holistic care to patients with mental health conditions. My commitment to evidence-based practice, crisis intervention, and patient advocacy has allowed me to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve.

My clinical expertise extends to assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating nursing care for patients with various psychiatric disorders. I have worked with diverse populations, including geriatric, adult, and adolescent patients. During acute psychiatric crises, I remain calm under pressure, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to create safe environments and minimize restraint use.
