Resume, Credentials, and Certifications

A link is provided to my resume below.
Work history on my resume reflects my personal values and my approach to nursing:
At Isaac School district, I have the privilege of developing community based disease prevention programs, giving presentations about basic self-care, education of students, teachers, and medical staff on a variety of subjects, and delivering direct-care to high-acuity and special needs children. I also assist underprivileged families and neighborhoods in locating resources for basic needs such as food, clothing, dental, vision, and counseling services. This work dovetails with my core ethical principle of beneficence, 'to do good works'. It also ties in with my pursuit of excellence in my nursing actions.
At Summit Health, I perform health screenings for groups and employees. As part of the screening, basic health bio-markers are reviewed. The biomarkers are blood pressure, body mass index, Lipid panels and blood glucose. I educate participants about diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle management. This reflects my commitment to community health, health promotion, and disease prevention. I am actively applying Orem's theory with this work by assessing the level of individuals' self-care. Also, in keeping with the core values of the National League for Nursing, which I have adopted as my own, I am consistent in my care of every person; performing my work without judgment to the best of my ability. Lastly, my work at Summit links to my future certification in education, in that I wish to teach persons how to adopt better self-management habits to improve quality of life.
My work with the American Heart Association reflects an ongoing commitment to health promotion throughout the lifespan. I serve a dual role as both volunteer and employee. As employee, I am a “Heart Guide”, taking school-aged kids on a two hour interactive tour of the Halle Heart Children’s Museum. It is designed to teach kids about the dangers of smoking, how to contact 911, healthy vs. unhealthy eating, physical exercise, smart food shopping, and the amazing anatomy of the heart. This work also links to my commitment to teaching, my core values of caring, and treating all persons with dignity and without judgment or consideration of ethnic, religious, or cultural differences. A link to a video about the museum is below.
My other work for the American Heart Association is as a speaker/presenter of “Life’s Simple 7”, an educational presentation targeting elder adults. It emphasizes seven of the keys to healthy living: Blood pressure, Blood cholesterol, Blood sugar, Smoking status, Healthy weight, Physical activity, and Healthy diet. I give this presentation to seniors in group settings. The message coalesces with my philosophy of promoting healthcare and preventing disease, and beneficence, the ethical construct that guides me. A link to Life’s Simple 7 is found below.
