Objective:
Offering nearly 25 years of experience in the medical field, this resume covers the work history of an energentic, analytical thinking, nurse manager. Currently an MDS coordinator and dept. head of a very busy rehab facility, I have over 10 years experience in clinical reimbursement in the long term care setting. Although currently seeking a regional or floating position in MDS (Minimum Data Set)/clinical reimbursement , I am also very interested in other aspects of the medical field including sales, marketing, home/hospice care, medical coding/documentation, assessment and intake,community health, and teaching. An LPN for 23 years, after completion of my Assoc. degree this past year, the desire to experience another aspect of nursing is very strong. New doors have been opened for a continued successful career in nursing!
