WORK EXPERIENCE

Licensed Vocational Nurse

06/1988 to 10/2011

Los Angeles County U.S.C. Medical Center

2051 Marengo Street Los Angeles, California 90033

Working closely with RNs, I cared for patients, including bathing, vital signs, lifting, and transporting patients. I answered phone calls, transcribed doctor s orders, compiled patient charts, and charted findings and vital signs. I started intravenous lines and hung IVs without additives. I drew blood and took it to the lab when ordered. I also gave medications, oral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and oral. I developed and created data reports to capture workload utilizing computer skills. Once the patient was ready for discharge, I did discharge paperwork, including discontinuing any hep locks or Ivs. I broke down the charts and took them to medical records after the patient was discharged. I also made follow-up appointments. After the hospital introduced computer charting, I charted online using Infinity. Licensed Vocational Nurse

I Called patients into the room for doctor visits. While I worked in urgent care, I triaged patients to ensure the most critical got the care needed. I took the patient s history and chief complaints, did vital signs, and charted them. I set up the room for the doctor, depending on the exams needed. I followed the doctor s orders by giving them pills or injections as ordered. I charted everything I did, gave the patients follow-up care sheets, and explained any instructions the doctor gave. I also made arrangements over the phone for follow-up appointments, assigned flags, answered phones, and managed files. I also phoned patients to ensure they had follow-up appointments and understood how to take the prescribed medications. I filed charts when the doctor finished with them. I also started IVs when patients needed to be transported to the hospital. I called the ambulance for patients needing to be transported. Licensed Vocational Nurse
