Assured safety and presented information on medications and health to increase the patient's understanding and healing process. I also am an integral part of the treatment team developing care plans and ensuring those plans were implemented. Provided care for patients including administration of medication, wound care, providing reality reorientation and encouraging use of coping skills for depression and anxiety. I worked with the veterans unit for addiction treatment for 2 years and when it was closed I did addiction treatment with all types of patients as well as working in crisis intervention and general psychiatric units. I was employed here while I did travel nursing as a PRN employee but came back to full time. Show less
