Nurse

Dahman

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

Seven years of experience as a hospital RN has given me an extensive knowledge of the nursing process, which has greatly benefited me in the design work I have done in Cerner’s Millennium software.  In addition, over the last four years I have acquired an in-depth knowledge of Cerner applications and their interdependencies.  I am a strong communicator, which has helped me to work equally well with both clinical and IT staff during the design and build process with Cerner Millennium.  I work well with others, as well as being self-motivated and focused when working alone.  I have excellent troubleshooting skills, enabling me to quickly interpret statements from end users to determine the source of their problem, and come up with an effective solution, be it educational or a correction to the system.
