Stacey Benash

I've been an RN for 10 years, and have been fortunate to a have had experienced a variety of different types of nursing. I enjoy new challenges and the ability to continuously learn. I've grown tremendously as a nurse in the last few years, especially durning my time as a travel nurse.

It was challenging at times to learn new charting systems, policies and procedures, and overall work flow of new facilities, but it made me more adaptable as a nurse. I work great in a team dynamic, yet I can still be successful working solo. I'm dedicated to providing top quality care and I will always be an advocate for my patients.
