At Sarasota Memorial Hospital, I support patients in hospital and acute-care environments while maintaining their safety, privacy, and dignity. I enter physician orders, document care electronically, and perform EKGs for physician review.

I also monitor cardiac telemetry and patient condition, reporting significant changes to nursing staff. My experience includes one-on-one observation, patient transportation, and supporting people with dementia, Alzheimer's, and behavioral or safety needs.
