Certified Nursing Assistant
CurrentMy current position involves care for 10 to 11 patients in the telemetry unit which includes Q4 vital signs and activities of daily living such as eating, toileting, bathing, repositioning, etc. Working in the telemetry department, I am familiar with placing leads for patients undergoing continuous cardiac monitoring and have experience caring for stroke patients, congestive heart failure patients, and postoperative open-heart patients. Alongside these duties, I promote safety in one-to-one patient observations (patient sitter) where patient supervision may be required. Additionally, I have experience accurately charting vital signs, inputs, and outputs using the electronic health record (Cerner).
