- Being trained as a telemetry tech while in nursing school, it seemed only fitting that would be where I would start my nursing career. Daily report would be punctually at 0645. Then off to round on pts and anticipate any needs of my patients. Assessments had to be performed and medication administration, along with treatments and in house appointments that the patients needed to attend. So prioritizing and scheduling care are at the forefront of the mind. Working on the floor is a rigorous and fast-paced position that takes a lot of skill and patience. Daily responsibilities were as follows.
- Conducted thorough patient assessments to identify and address health issues.
- Medication administration
- Administered wound care to enhance healing and minimize infection risk.
- Coordinated healthcare services to ensure timely and effective patient care.
- Supported CNAs in delivering patient care effectively.
