I have currently been working as an LVN in home health environments since 2020. The roles that I encompass include physical client care, meal preparation, ancillary care needs like transportation, as well as home maintenance including cleaning and even client project execution and management.
Previous to home health, I worked as a rehab nurse in a med surg setting completing addmission orders by communicating with MDs, PAs, and NPs, as well as executing ordered medical therapies and other orders.
Additionally, I also have training as a medic as I was one in the Army, so I have physical training in emergency settings, though that education has been a while ago in 2004 and will require OJT to acclimate to the particular environment.
