Experience

UT Southwestern Medical Center

Dallas · United States

Registered Nurse Intern

Jun 2026 - Aug 2026

  • Under supervision, compared postoperative observations with baseline vital signs, reported deterioration using SBAR, and rechecked pain response and discharge teaching before the next care handoff.
  • The team completed physical and psychosocial assessments for assigned patients and escalated changes against unit criteria; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team gave the care team a current, documented basis for treatment and handoff decisions; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • The team reconciled medication orders, allergies, and administration records before each scheduled dose; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team resolved discrepancies before administration and retained the clinical review trail; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • Under supervision, used postoperative assessments to identify a patient-safety concern, checked medication orders and allergies before administration, and documented the reassessment after the clinical team’s intervention.
  • Under supervision, owned the assigned patient handoff using structured assessments, resolved medication-list discrepancies with the supervising nurse and completed patient-safety checks before transfer.
  • Under supervision, designed an infection-control reminder using observed patient-care omissions, reduced incomplete handoff fields by 26% in a supervised chart audit and documented compliance follow-up.

  • Prepared a fictional case record with an event timeline, incomplete documentation and an escalation question; checked source consistency without using identifiable patient or participant records.
