Springfield Gardens,NY
Summary
Dedicated and caring professional with over ten years' experience in Substance abuse and Geriatrics, however, I have had focus on substance abuse dealing with the Day-top in-patient clinical Doctor's office. I obtained experience in drawing blood, obtaining specimens for lab reports, updating charts with significant health related issues, and referring clients to other agencies for further evaluations. I am more than efficient in Medication management; packing medication as needed and supervising medication administration.
Knowledgeable LPN with deep understanding of patient care and medical procedures. Successfully managed diverse patient needs in various healthcare settings, ensuring high-quality care and patient satisfaction. Demonstrated strong communication and problem-solving skills while working collaboratively with healthcare teams.
