My employment with Kindred at Home includes case managing a specific area within the company. On average, I manage 55 to 70 patients with the assistance of one LPN. I am responsible for admissions and discharges to home, health as well as reassessments for continued care. I coordinate care between physicians for patients and refer patients to different MDs when needed. I often teach/manage IV infusions in the home setting, manage/perform wound care of all sorts, and care for those recently discharged from the hospital with various conditions (acute chf, acute copd, covid, covid, pna, s/p surgery- cabg, tarv, joint replacements, and amputations to name a few). We teach/manage new colostomies and catheters, provided disease process teaching, and medication management instructions to patients as well Show less

At DMH, I worked full-time in surgery and prn on the med-surg floor. In surgery, I complete pre- op assessments with patients verifying their health history, their scheduled procedure, and provide pre-op instructions. On the day of surgery, I brought patients back and set them up for surgery (verifying patient, allergies, connecting to monitors, starting IVs, provided pre-op medications). Once surgery is completed, I provided post anesthesia care by monitoring vitals and responsiveness. Once patients were ready to be discharge I will provide discharge education with follow up information. On the floor, I would take responsibility for up to 10 patients. During the shift, I will do an initial assessment, pass medication, chart every two hours, and provide any ADLs needed. Show less

At GRCF I was the RN on duty for nights. Typically, I worked with one to two LPNs, one who worked in the pharmacy and the other who would work with me. I was responsible for all the lab draws, insulin, dressing changes, charting on any infirmary or SHOS patients, triage, sharp counts, and all medical/psych emergencies that may come in. We would also pull and prep all charts needed for the next day, and sort and bundle all keep on person medications to be handed out. At GRCF I was the RN on duty for nights.
