Samantha Ramkissoon

I am a compassionate and dependable LPN with current experience in an outpatient treatment program setting and prior hospital experience on a Med/Surg, Renal/Oncology, and Telemetry floor.

In my current role with McLeod Centers for Wellbeing, I support client care in an OTP setting by administering medications, completing intake assessments, obtaining vital signs, maintaining accurate documentation, auditing charts, and supporting daily clinical operations. This experience has strengthened my attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to provide safe, patient-centered care in a structured clinical environment.

Before joining McLeod Centers for Wellbeing, I worked at Atrium Health Cabarrus as both a Licensed Practical Nurse and Certified Nursing Assistant. My hospital experience helped me build strong bedside nursing skills, including patient observation, documentation, communication with the care team, patient and family education, prioritization, and recognizing changes that may require timely intervention.
