Shelby Golightly

I’m a psychiatric nursing assistant with 10+ years of patient care experience in behavioral health settings. I focus on attentive observation, clear communication, and assessing patient needs to support better outcomes.

In my current role at Rusk State Hospital, I handle vital signs, charting vitals and related intake, and ongoing patient monitoring. I also support medication aide tasks, provide direct caregiver assistance, and run front desk responsibilities.

Earlier, as a caregiver and medication aide at Pine Lodge, I managed vital signs, medication support, and patient documentation while assisting with ADLs. I take pride in staying steady in fast-paced environments and maintaining quality care through careful monitoring.

I’m committed to enhancing patient outcomes by combining reliable clinical support with compassionate presence. Whether I’m documenting, communicating with staff, or observing changes in patients, I aim to keep care organized, accurate, and human.
