documented care provided. I was promoted to wound care/restorative nurse. For residents with wounds I

frequently assessed/documented wounds and was a liaison with MD for proper wound treatment as wound

progressed. I also educated staff on wound prevention. As a restorative nurse I coordinated care for residents

who qualified for restorative program. I assessed residents and implemented care plans for the residents who

would benefit from the program.
