@mistyearls
Compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive healthcare experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse with over eighteen years of experience in healthcare, specializing in patient-centered care within nursing homes and rehabilitation settings. My journey in nursing has equipped me with strong patient care skills and a deep understanding of the diverse needs of patients, ranging from newborns to geriatrics. I pride myself on my ability to adapt to changing environments and schedules, ensuring that I provide competent and dignified care to all my patients.
Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Unit Manager, where I managed nursing teams and ensured compliance with state regulations. My experience includes overseeing patient care in long-term care facilities, conducting chart audits, and providing clinical support to staff and residents. I am passionate about educating patients and their families, helping them navigate home care and discharge plans effectively.
As I seek a nursing position within a progressive facility, I am eager to contribute my skills and compassion to a team that values resident-focused care. I believe in the importance of maintaining high standards of nursing care and strive to touch the lives of those around me every day.
