Objective

I am a dedicated licensed vocational nurse (LVN). I possess knowledge and skills from a variety of clinical settings which give me a broader scope of experience allowing me to be flexible in any given situation. I have developed a great deal of flexibility, working in the health care field, knowing that each person requires care tailored to meet their individual needs.

Using the clinical practice guidelines I learned within the LVN program, I am a reliable, ethical healthcare provider with the ability to make accurate assessments, provide appropriate referrals, identify emergent needs and stay calm in urgent situations. I am a team player who is able and ready to communicate effectively within a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses and social workers. I am also highly motivated to work independently.

Known as a patient advocate and team player, I believe in empowering patients by delivering health education and care that enhances wellness and quality of life.

Work Experience

Licensed Vocational Nurse

11/2011 – 09/2014 Kaiser Permanente Pinole, CA 94564

My experience began in a temporary position offering influenza vaccines to all employees of Kaiser Permanente. I organized a cart with all necessary supplies to safely and effectively give vaccines in a variety of settings in the hospital. For employees who refused the vaccine, I offered a declination form so that all employees would be accounted for as receiving the vaccine or not.

My performance was exceptional and I was offered a permanent, part time position in the Pediatric Department administering vaccines to children from 2 months – 18 years old. I occasionally assisted the Family Medicine Department by administering vaccines and other medications to adult and pediatric clients.

I travelled with a team to various companies and provided health screening to its employees. Health screenings included biometric measurements, (height, weight, waist circumference and BMI calculations), blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar checks, and appropriate education regarding results found, and administering influenza vaccines.

My ability to provide excellent customer service while providing appropriate nursing care in a timely manner, allowed me to be selected to perform hearing tests, in which I was required to do in less than three minutes.
