Eric Luckenbaugh

I am a Licensed Vocational Nurse with experience in a wide array of healthcare settings.  I recently moved to Sacramento, CA, to be closer to family.

My experiences lie mostly with Duke University Health Systems in North Carolina.  As a nurse I cared for patients at a Duke Primary Care Clinic for one year then at their Spine Center at the South Clinics for four years.  As a Certified Nursing Assistant II, I was on a Medical Surgical Unit at Duke Hospital for two years.  I also served in homecare for a year with Nurse Care of North Carolina now under the auspice of Arosa.

I have several years of experience with the EMR, EPIC.

I have served with a multitude of providers and their teams, have cared for a large spectrum of patients from newborns to geriatrics, and I have performed many types of procedures. My experience speaks to my ability to not just work with a wide range of patients and providers in multiple types of settings and to learn new skills but to advance in my knowledge. Therefore, I believe that I am a very good fit for your position.

I look forward to our conversation.
