About Angela Trotter:
Over 20 years of acute care nursing, establishing a rapport with patients and communicating with families and doctors, managing patient plans of care from the ICU, to home and long-term care. I am ready to turn to the next chapter of my career by focusing on patient health and wellness education. Teaching positive outcome discharge plans; as well as, feasible wellness plans consisting of accessing medical and community resources.
Experience
My professional experience started with a bachelor of science degree in physical education from the University of Houston. I also minored in social studies. I taught girls and boys school-aged athletics as well as managed a women's health and fitness center for a decade. In the 1990s, I pursued my second career in nursing by obtaining a nursing degree from Lee College in Baytown TX. After graduating, I left my home state of Texas and came to the State of Virginia. I started my nurse internship at Inova Fairfax Hospital in the intermediate-pulmonary care unit. This is where I learned most of my critical care experience by floating to the different ICUs for 7 years. I also was able to acquire extensive crisis/terrorist interventions from the 911 incident and the anthrax-bioterrorism incident. Afterward, I began travel nursing working in ICU and step-down units for another 7 years. In the Texas Medical Center- St. Joseph Hospital- where I learned my first Crisis Prevention interventions from the hospital shooting. In the years 2017 and 2018, I decided to work with chronically ill patients in long-term and home health. This is where I was able to enhance my time management and prioritize nursing interventions. I was also introduced to the OASIS and ICD-9 documentation in home healthcare. I really enjoyed conversing with patients and family members. There were families that made me feel like part of the family. At the end of 2018, I relocated back to Virginia where I currently reside. I have been mainly working on travel assignments for step-down and progressive units. I am at another crossroads in my nursing career. I have the desire to continue teaching and planning in healthcare remotely or in an office.
Education
The most relevant education to the positions I am seeking is life's education. The healthcare field is a multi-faceted system. I have learned how to maneuver my way through this broad system as a patient, teacher, professional, parent, family member (with lost loved ones), friend, and community volunteer. I am a candidate who has experienced all of the above and then some. A journey through life with a road of curves, exits, and stops. Learning and teaching a variety of cultures with a smile on my face, has required a balance of body, mind, and spirit. Working on a team requires one to play a strong position; then stepping in to help coworkers when needed takes perseverance so the whole team can reap the benefits of accomplishments. I am a team player to work with a sense of urgency and efficacy which working in the labor force has taught me.
