Summary

Passionate Healthcare Certified Nurse Assistant and Patient Care Technician with over 2 years of experience in different medical specialties, which include E.R., Observation, Pediatrics, Neonatal ICU, and Pulmonary. Managed multiple other employees to ensure safe scheduling. Supervised up to 30 patients and attended to all their needs, as well as those of the doctors and nurses. I am also experienced in the clinical setting. I have previous experience from working at West Wichita Family Physicians P.A. As a PCT, my job consisted of rooming, taking vital signs on each patient, verifying medications, verifying pharmacy, administering injections, and charting on patients' EMR/EHR. I have recently worked at Wesley Medical Center, but sadly, I must relocate due to a military assignment. At Wesley Medical, I was working on the Acute Care Specialty Unit. This job consists of managing up to 15 patients at a time. I had to prioritize patient care depending on patient criteria and needs.
