Work History

Certified Nursing Assistant

Mountain Ridge Health and Rehab/Golden Years Nursing Home
07.2019 - Current

I helped patients with daily activities and personal hygiene, monitored vital signs, and quickly reported any changes to the nursing staff, while I also monitored for unusual symptoms and reported them to the charge nurse. I kept accurate records in the electronic health system and made sure patient rooms and shared spaces stayed clean and organized. I responded to call lights quickly and assisted patients as needed. I safely turned and repositioned residents to help prevent pressure sores. I, also, took part in training to improve my caregiving skills. However, there are numerous other things that come with being a CNA, but there are just too many to list.
