Manager/LPN

Conowingo Veterans Center

June 2015 - September 2022

I enjoyed working at Conowingo for 7yrs. I started a medication technician and worked my way up into the manger of the facility. This was a facility that mainly housed veterans but we did accept non veterans. I managed and cared for approximately 16-20 patients over this time. I managed for roughly 10-12 staff members as well. My position required I be proficient in word, excel, time management, staff management, communication skills, keep the facility at all times within state and VA guidelines under the MD Comar regulations. This required all charts from patients to staff be up to date with all information required at all times. I worked along side the director Raye Ragan to accomplish these goals daily. This position allowed me to gain experience within the medical field as well as with management skills and state guidelines. I had to be available to work the floor when staff was unable to come in or we had an emergency. The patients ranged from independent to full care. We provided all the way through end of life care and worked with hospice to accommodate aging in place for the patients . I was able to use my nursing skills along with my management skills to perform my job daily. Education
