Amber Yates
Kettering
Summary
I was a dedicated STNA with an expertise in HIPAA compliance and a current BLS certification. I was committed to delivering personalized care and emotional support, while enhancing my residents' quality of life via meticulous attention to detail. I was also skilled in providing ongoing support for my residents' ADLs, monitoring vital signs, recording intake/output and documenting my care in a timely manner. I was also adept at time management skills, and recognizing/reporting changes in my resident's conditions to my charge nurse.
The breaks in my employment history were due to deciding to stay home and care for my three children during their formative years, and recently dedicating my time to completing my RN degree.
