I have always had a strong desire to work in healthcare and help others. I became particularly interested in screening and triage as a way to make a significant impact in preventing the spread of disease and ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate care.

I am a licensed Registered Nurse with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. I have several years of experience working in emergency department and triage settings, as well as specialized training in screening and triage protocols and procedures. I am also certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).

I am familiar with a wide range of screening and triage protocols, including those for infectious diseases such as COVID-19, influenza, and tuberculosis, as well as protocols for emergency medical conditions and injuries. I am also familiar with patient assessment tools such as the Manchester Triage System (MTS) and the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS).

I manage and prioritize patient flow by using established triage protocols and tools, such as the MTS and CTAS, to quickly and accurately assess patients' conditions and needs. I also closely monitor patient flow and work closely with the rest of the healthcare team to ensure that patients are seen in a timely manner, while also ensuring that the most critically ill patients are seen first.

I communicate with patients and their families in a clear, calm and compassionate manner. I explain the screening process, provide education about the patient's condition, and involve them in the decision-making process. I also make sure to address any concerns or questions they may have.

I stay current with the latest screening and triage guidelines and best practices by regularly reviewing relevant literature, attending continuing education courses, and participating in professional development opportunities. I also stay informed about new developments in healthcare and public health, such as outbreaks of infectious diseases.
