History of working for the neurosurgery department at DHR. I have returned to DHR since leaving in 2021. With this experience I have grown to learn patience, understanding, and a new level of care for my patients. With this position I have been placed in intake (vitals), backup (answering phone calls for MA’s such as refills, and referral status), and check out (clearance and referrals). With the neurosurgery department I am currently under the direction of four separate providers which has also taught me diligence, proper communication, and organisation within the department office.

I am a newly graduated LVN with clinical experience through my time at RGV College both through the program, and through my preceptorship. I worked over a period of 18 months in various departments such as Med Surge, maternity, pediatrics, behavioral, and experience in the nursing home. At this time I am looking to pursue a career that will further my education and give me the experience I need to practice the things I have learned through nursing school.

I was a part time floater. I went through family practice and stayed there for a month with vitalising patients, taking labs, administering vaccines, and prepping for the provider. With that I was able to

transition to full time at an urgent care in Rexburg Idaho. There I did the exact same as I had in the family practice facility, but was also able to participate in procedures such as draining an abscess, removing stitches, eye washes, and cleaning severe wounds.

• As a medical assistant I am responsible for gathering any information on why the patient is there and getting lab work that needs to be done on the patient before the provider goes into the room, and prepping the patient. In addition I have also spent time in reception as well, I’ve been able to verify insurance online and over the phone, faxing, checking in patients, and gaining more experience in communications.
