What I'm looking for

I am looking for a rewarding position that allows me to utilize my patient care skills in a supportive environment focused on mental health and rehabilitation.

As a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 11 years of experience in facility care and 6 years in clinical settings, I have developed a strong foundation in patient monitoring and support. My role at Liberty Center Rehabilitation has allowed me to hone my skills in ensuring patient comfort and safety, particularly in high-pressure environments such as COVID-19 units. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with nursing staff, ensuring that critical patient information is relayed promptly and accurately.

At Innovage Life, I managed the scheduling of over 30 appointments daily, demonstrating my ability to handle multiple requests efficiently. My experience in behavioral health as a Behavioral Technician has further enhanced my skills in providing compassionate care to patients with diverse needs, including those with dementia. I am committed to maintaining confidentiality and accuracy in all aspects of patient care, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a new role where I can continue to make a positive impact on patient experiences.
