I worked on a step down ICU unit where my role was to support both the patients and the medical team. I monitored patients closely by checking vital signs, oxygen levels, and overall condition, and I reported any changes immediately. I provided hands on care like bathing, feeding, repositioning, and mobility support, while making sure patients were safe and comfortable. I also assisted the nurses and doctors during procedures like intubations and central line insertions, and I maintained accurate documentation of intake/output and care provided. In emergencies, I was trained to act quickly whether it was retrieving equipment, starting CPR under direction, or assisting during a Code Blue. Beyond clinical work, I also supported patients and their families emotionally, since ICU settings are often very stressful. Overall, I was an extra set of eyes, hands, and support for the critical care team to make sure every patient received safe, attentive, and compassionate care
