During my employment I was assisting with patients with mental disorders and patients seeking rehab. I assured that patients were not harming themselves or others. I would take patients vitals every morning and assured that the patients received anything they needed as long as it was policy. I would assist patients in therapy group and activity groups. I would make sure the patients ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every patient had a report sheet and every 15 minutes I would note down what they were doing and where they where at in the unit.

• I attend to the residents and their needs. I would be assigned a unit and I would be in charge of approx. 13-16 residents. I would change the residents briefs and shower them if there wasn't a CNA available, and I would assist with feeding the the residents if needed. I would assist with draining colostomy bags and catheters. I would assist wherever was needed.
