My daily night shift task for this facility includes cooking, cleaning, and chores, as well as taking care of residents throughout the night. I also collect vitals, offer emotional support, and communicate with my team.

My daily tasks at this facility are to care for patients’ needs and daily activities. I monitor patients, check vital signs, and clean rooms. I also provide emotional support to increase their well-being and communicate with patients. Teamwork is very important at this facility, as collaborating with other staff members, such as CMAs and nurses, to provide the best quality of care.

I worked in different facilities to care for patients. Every facility has different work environments, such as memory care, assisted living, hospitals, long-term care, and home care. I’ve worked first, second, and third shifts in these facilities. My day consists of checking the patient, taking their vitals, feeding them, and assisting them in their daily activities

While working at the Cardiac Progressive Care Unit, my responsibilities included surgery prep for pre- and post-op patients and aiding patients with using the bathrooms, ambulating, and helping with their needs.

I helped seniors who needed aid with everyday tasks. I cooked and cleaned the house, gave them their medication, took their blood pressure, and drove them to appointments and shopping.
