You will identify changes in health status, escalate concerns promptly, and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to adjust plans, reduce risks, and enhance comfort and safety. Documentation will be precise and timely, ensuring continuity of care across shifts and settings. You’ll contribute to infection control practices, respond to emergencies with composure, and engage residents and families with clear, compassionate communication. This role provides a platform for professional growth within geriatrics, wound care, dementia care, and palliative considerations, with opportunities to pursue additional certifications, mentor newer staff, or assume expanded responsibilities as you demonstrate clinical excellence and leadership potential.
