I'm an Rn with 35 years experience. I graduated from Roxborough Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. I'm honest, dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate. I worked for many years at Holy Redeemer Hospital, on a Medical-Surgical floor, and, later, a floor specializing in Respiratory and Neurological difficulties.(ie., asthma, strokes, seizures) .I worked briefly, at Rydal Park,, on an Alzheimer's Unit. Later, I worked at Lafayette Redeemer Assisted Living Unit, focusing on the physical/mental/emotional needs of the residents. Excellent assessment skills, and quick to respond in emergencies. Proficient in documentation, and communicating with other medical staff. I've been a companion/caretaker, and nurse-if so dictated, for the past 8 years, at private residences. First,-for a woman with Alzheimer's, then, for an elderly gentleman with Lewey-Body Disease, and, presently, for a 68 year old woman with Frontal Dementia, now on Hospice care. I am trustworthy, kindhearted, and caring. CPR. and First-Aid certified.. I practice the continuing education courses for RN's every two years, as required by the state.
