About April Clarin:
My name is April, and I'm a registered nurse in Chicago, Illinois. I have over 10 years of clinical experience having worked in multiple patient care settings including the emergency room, telemetry, inpatient and outpatient cardiology, and most recently remote patient monitoring. I obtained my BSN from Loyola University Chicago in 2017 and am licensed to practice nursing in 22 states. I am looking for a remote position to help provide world class care to patients throughout the United States.
