• Provided emotional support for isolated patients while facilitating effective family communication through telehealth platforms.

• Clinical Support: Provide comprehensive care for up to 10-12 patients per shift in a fast-paced medical-surgical setting, specializing in post-op recovery (orthopedic, abdominal, and cardiac).
• Vital Sign Monitoring: Execute frequent monitoring of vitals and blood glucose levels; immediately reported critical deviations to RNs, contributing to early intervention and improved patient outcomes.
• Wound & Drain Care: Supported licensed staff in complex dressing changes and monitored surgical drains (JP, Hemovac) and Foley catheters to ensure optimal patient healing.
• Mobility & Safety: Coordinated early ambulation for post-surgical patients using gait belts and mechanical lifts (Hoyer), enhancing patient mobility while adhering to fall prevention protocols.
• Charting Accuracy: Documented patient intake/output (I&O), ADLs, and behavioral changes in EHR systems (Epic/cerner ect) with 100% accuracy.
• Emergency Response: Participated in "Rapid Response" calls and Code Blue scenarios by delivering chest compressions and securing essential supplies, contributing to timely emergency interventions.

Vital Signs & Documentation: Accurate monitoring of Blood Pressure, Pulse, O2 Saturation, Temp, and Respirations with immediate reporting of deviations.

• Provided assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing and grooming.
• Maintained a clean, safe environment for the patient by adhering to infection control policies and procedures.

Acute Care Procedures: Assisting with EKG lead placement, bladder scanning, incentive spirometry, and post-operative surgical site observation.

Specimen Collection: Proficient in sterile collection of various labs (Urine, Sputum, Stool) and labeling protocols.

Nutritional Support: Managing complex feeding requirements, including thickened liquids and aspiration precaution monitoring.

High-Acuity Support: Provided essential care for patients with complex diagnoses, including respiratory failure, post-surgical recovery, and multi-system organ failure.

Rapid Response Assistance: Frequently assisted the Rapid Response Team by securing emergency equipment, clearing rooms, and obtaining immediate vitals during bedside emergencies.

Post-Op & Recovery: Managed specialized care for post-operative patients, including monitoring surgical sites, managing JP drains, and assisting with early ambulation to prevent DVT.

Technical Proficiency: Skilled in setting up and monitoring cardiac telemetry, Foley catheter care, and assisting with bedside procedures like thoracentesis or line placements.

Throughput Management: Streamlined the "admissions and discharges" process to maintain unit flow during high-census periods, ensuring rooms were sanitized and prepped for new acute arrivals.

• Successfully managed a diverse patient population with an accelerated acuity load, consistently overseeing the care of up to 12 patients per shift.
• Prioritized nursing interventions and medication administration for high-volume assignments while maintaining a 0% medication error rate.
• Collaborated daily with a multidisciplinary team (Physicians, Case Managers, PT/OT) to streamline discharge planning and reduce length of stay.
• Conducted rapid head-to-toe assessments and recognized early signs of clinical deterioration, initiating "Rapid Response" protocols when necessary.
• Educated patients and families on post-acute care instructions, ensuring clarity and compliance despite a high-pressure environment.
