Staffing Coordinator

Apr 2017 - Sep 2019
Rose Villa Senior Living
In this position I was able to mesh my nursing experience with the leadership training I began as an Assistant Department Manager. My main roles involved staffing a twenty-four hour ICF, working with 80+ employees including CNAs, LPNs, and RNs. I also processed payroll, managed recruitment and onboarding of new staff, compiled documentation for federal reporting, and organized trainings. This position gave me extensive experience in building a cohesive team with a high level of quality. It also honed my attention to detail and communication skills.

CNA

Jun 2015 - Apr 2017
Rose Villa Senior Living
During my career as a Nursing Assistant I practiced in many fields of care including Post Surgical, Palliative, Acute Skilled, Gerontological, and Hospice Care, While honing my medical skills I also had the opportunity to enhance my interpersonal skills: building relationships with the residents, my peers, and senior staff. I also participated in a few optional work groups like the Safety Committee and our intramural Softball Team, and I started a employee/resident chess club. I gained experience adapting to multiple medical settings working alongside Physicians, Nursing and Therapy staff. During my time as an independent contractor I managed my own work schedule, maintaining a functional calendar week amidst a competitive and unpredictable environment.
