About Karen

I have been a registered nurse for the past 31 years. I have recently decided on a career path change and would like to continue to utilize my skills and knowledge in helping care for individuals. I have had many different experiences in my career and have functioned in various roles. I have technical skills from working in the operating room for over 20 years. I also have experience working in hospice and psychiatric settings which has allowed me to sharpen my interpersonal and communication skills. I am multi tasking, organized, calm under pressure and strong in conflict resolution. I am looking forward to new experiences while using my knowledge and skills. I have a passion for working with and helping people. I am immediately available for employment
