Professional\u00a0Experience<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a Registered Professional Nurse licensed in New Jersey. I have been a nurse since 1995 with national certification in critical care. I have participated in interdisciplinary rounds, grand rounds and have worked with many physicians, medical residents, interns, and students over the course of my career in nursing. I transitioned from clinical nursing to nursing education in 2011, and in 2015, I began working with medical students at AUA. I worked in Antigua with Basic Sciences Education Enhancement from 2015-2016 and the Exam Center with Dr. Fernandez as the Assistant Campus Proctor. After a few years away, I returned to AUA in 2019 to work with Clinical Sciences Students. I have extensive experience with advising students on methods of study, test taking skills, identifying areas of strength, and using them to enhance areas of weakness.<\/p>\n
