Summary
I have been a Licensed Practical Nurse since 2007. My position required me to perform basic routine assessments, administer medication, assist with minor procedures, perform 12 lead EKG's, spirometry, and document the office note for the physician. I maintained a strong reputation for achieving high levels of patient satisfaction.
I worked as a personal caregiver for a geriatric patient from April 2017-April 2018. I assisted her in everyday living needs, which included bathing, dressing, cooking meals, turning in bed to prevent bed sores. I communicated with the family to do whatever I could to make their lives easier in taking care of their elder.
Since August 2018, I have been a substitute teacher for Carroll County Public Schools, working mainly at St. Paul School. I have worked with K-5 and Special Education. I also provided one-on-one assistance with an EC child in the 2nd grade.
I am a very fast learner, as well as being able to adapt to new and changing environments.
