## Alyssa Corbin — Registered Nurse, Medical ICU

Critical care nurse with eight years at the bedside, the last four as a night charge nurse on a 24-bed medical ICU. Rewrote the unit sepsis huddle that took door-to-antibiotic time from 71 minutes to 38, and precepts the new-graduate residency cohort each spring.

### Experience

Nights on a 24-bed medical ICU. Runs the assignment board for nine nurses and carries a two-patient load.

- Rewrote the sepsis huddle so the first antibiotic is drawn and hung at the bedside, cutting door-to-antibiotic time from 71 minutes to 38 across 240 admissions.
- Precepted 14 new graduate nurses through the 12-week residency; 13 were still on the unit at one year, against a house average of six in ten.
- Chairs the unit practice council, whose two-hour turn schedule took hospital-acquired pressure injuries from nine a year to two.

**Travel ICU Nurse (Contract)**, Wayfinder Health Staffing · March 2021 – May 2022

Three consecutive 13-week critical care contracts.

- Trained 22 float-pool nurses on the ventilator weaning protocol at a 400-bed host site, which kept the teaching sheet as unit standard.
- Joined the four-person proning team through a respiratory surge, turning up to 30 ventilated patients a week with no line dislodgements.

**Staff Nurse, Progressive Care**, Cedar Hollow Community Hospital · August 2018 – February 2021

- Caught a mislabeled batch in the pharmacy tube system before a dose reached a patient, then wrote the barcode check that four units adopted.
- Cut heart-failure discharge teaching from 45 minutes to 25 with a teach-back card the unit still prints; 30-day readmissions fell by a fifth.
