years of professional experience

My work experience has allowed me to master skills suited to a team-oriented environment. I have over twenty years of experience in the healthcare field. I specialize in direct patient care in hospitals, assisted living, private duty and other medical facilities. I've worked with individuals with special needs and behavior disorders. My expertise range from total health care, Intake and Output, Vital Signs, Admission and discharge procedures, oxygen usage and monitoring, Foley catheter care, trachea care, incontinent care, isolation techniques and post mortem care. I am a mature, dedicated, hard worker concerned and committed to the care of patients and clients. I consistently exhibit professionalism in all that I do and take pride in my ability to work well with people from various backgrounds. As a respected team member, I communicate effectively with peers, management and diverse populations. I possess superior work ethics and notable performances of excellence. I am now seeking a rewarding career as a patient care tech or healthcare assistant, which will present opportunities to demonstrate my ability to deliver quality care, work in high pressure situations, and maintain patient confidentiality.
