Summary

I have been a nurse for approx 15 years, I tried to remember all dates ass precise as possible. I love my job and assisting people medically/emotionally to be the best they can be. I am efficient at communicating well with people who have special needs. But have also had training through my jobs to learn how to communicate effectively. I am professional in charting, care planning and communicating with the rest of professionals on our team to convey the patient's needs.

I have worked for Comprehensive Healthcare, in nursing homes and at Kinderhaven in the past and very much value the time I have spent working with elderly, adults but especially children. Before becoming a nurse I also worked in the Zillah school district as a substitute para professional and during this time subbed in the special education classes a majority of the time.

Work History

Kinderhaven
06.2024 - Current

While at kinderhafen, I have worked with children with complex health issues and some learning disabilities. While working I used a therapeutic communication, used redirections, distraction and positive reinforcements for behavior issues. I have really enjoyed my time working with the children and plan to stay per diem. Also, while working I provided trach and ventilator care, airway clearance, suctioning, G-tube and nasal gastric tube feedings, administered medications and monitored for effectiveness and ASE; changed dressings and trach ties, changed G-tubes and traches when ordered and as needed, skin assessment; Communicated with my team, communicated with co-workers effectively.

I had left my last job at two rivers as I wanted to work days rather than Noc shift. When hired at Kinderhafen I had agreed to work 1 year of nights. There are currently no day shifts open and I am looking for Monday through Friday 8 hour shifts rather than 12.5 hour shifts I am currently working.
