  SICU RN as needed This was a dynamic position that involved charge nurse and bedside nursing. In addition, the position required skills such as payroll, scheduling, interviewing, bed management, conflict resolution, teaching/mentoring and adherence to policy and procedure. Working well with patients, families and the multidisciplinary team was required and carried out with careful judgement and experience. This position involved the care of a diverse population of critically ill patients, including Liver Transplants, Kidney Transplants, Vascular Surgery, Sepsis and those with surgical complications. In order to maintain staffing, floating to the Medical and Neuro ICU was done. I precepted newly hired nurses, instructed ACLS, performed charge nurse duties and advocated for patients and their families. It was during this time that I studied for my MBA.
