"I'm confident that my full realm of experience over the last nine years of my career has put me in a position to join the UHG team and succeed from day one. I would come with extensive experience in discharge planning and care transition for highly acute and complex patients. I have worked closely with varying skilled nursing facilities throughout my career and have also worked on the frontlines in the ER and hospital settings. My experience on the road and in the field has also prepared me for success because I know that is a key aspect of this role. Nursing outside of a home care facility takes dedication, focus, and passion and I'm happy to bring that to work here."
