Clive Behavioral Health Hospital, Clive, IA — House Supervisor

AUGUST 2021 - JANUARY 2022

Under the supervision of the CEO and CNO, I managed all nursing/CNA sta, assisted as RN for nursing lunch breaks and call-ins as to not leave s sta shortage. Patient safety being #1 and employee safety right up there! I was tasked with managing the entire hospital ages 5 and up, managing admissions and discharges along with the keeping an eye on the outpatient area. As a new position and being the 1st to “make it my own”, I implemented several changes in policy to streamline everyone’s workload and save the hospital from excess, needless spending and wasted revenue. I recorded daily reports on company designed forms and continually monitored bed count. Lastly, I reported all incidents to the CNO (Supervisor) who in turn notifed the CEO (Manager).

SKILLS

Administrative and Management positions prior to nursing Too many nursing skills to list for 14 yrs.

Started as a med/surg nurse in 2012 (Lutheran) for 2 years and then promoted to the oncology floor (Methodist). Both with UPH for a total of 3 years before taking a leap into hospice nursing.

Then on to my 1st management position as a DON, but decided to accept a position as ADON for another company. To this day, I am still friends with the Administrator of my DON position.

Next, I became a House Supervisor for a mental health hospital, ages 5+ with 100+ beds. After that experience, I decided bedside nursing was where I was needed and desired.

Hospice nursing, corrections nursing, and travel nursing to LTC/Skilled facilities are my most recent positions.
