Finished the Nurse Residency Program at BMC in an observation status, telemetry monitored environment.

• Monitored patient condition by interpreting and tracking EKG readings, identifying irregular telemetry readings and updating team members on changes in stability or acuity.

Gained knowledge about the basic care for patients of different cultures, as well as wisdom and respect for families on a medical/surgical/telemetry unit. Learned a variety of tasks from glucose monitoring, telemetry lead placement, EKGs, taking vitals, toileting patients, ambulating patients, and assisting nurses with tasks.

Started my career in the healthcare field on a medical/surgical/telemetry floor. Learned a basic skill set at the start of nursing school that allowed me to grow from a strong foundation.
