I began my career in a skilled nursing facility and expanded my expertise across diverse settings, including medical-surgical, Telemetry, Oncology, Critical care, Hospice, home health, and ambulatory surgery. Currently, I work as a PACU nurse, a role I’m truly passionate about, where I support patients through their post-surgery recovery. The 2:1 nurse-to-patient ratio allows me to provide dedicated care and attention to each patient during this crucial period. As a new mom to a toddler, my hobbies include organizing playdates with my niece, taking my child on grocery shopping trips, and occasionally visiting thrift stores together. I am also deeply passionate about traveling, spending time with family, and writing. When I’m not working, I design and write for my blog, henrynurse.com.
