Certified Nursing Assistant

NuVista Living
Averaging an 8 patient load each shift in a rehabilitation skilled nursing facility. Average patient was, but not limited to being 50 years old and up, just released from the hospital into our care after having total knee replacement, hip replacement, major injury from falls, cardiac surgery and strokes. Their stay is focused on achieving maximum medical improvement to recover from condition to safely return home and improve independence. The majority of my patients are extensive assist, requiring consistent help to bear weight in at least one activity of daily living. I am required to assess skin, changes in behavior, any abnormal signs, decline in activity or functioning and report to the nurse. Usual care consisted of catheter care, hygiene care, dressing, feeding, changing, taking vital signs, showering, providing snacks and meals based on diet (diabetic, puree, mechanical soft, allergies, etc.), rounding every 2 hours to reposition, assess safety and check status of incontinent patients.
