Nurse Manager
Fairview Lakes Regional Medical Center
Wyoming, MN

Jessica Purdue Rep is a same-day surgery nurse manager, where she leads a group of 30 staff members in caring for patients and their families who are undergoing a broad range of procedures. In using evidence-based practice, unit-based councils, and ongoing evaluations of current procedures, Jessica is able to keep productivity high, increase staff engagement and teamwork satisfaction across the surgical department, and improve patient cares and outcomes. Jessica has previously worked as a PACU RN for five years, and spent 12 years in the Emergency Room and as a Labor & Delivery RN. With this experience, Jessica has found that in times of uncomfortable situations comes opportunities to find growth and prospects of infusing best practice further into patient care. 'Work smarter, not harder' is an appreciated philosophy. No conflict.
