- Performing basic and intermediate nursing procedures and treatments such as sterile dressing changes, catheter care, bladder scanning, blood glucose monitoring, specimen collection, and wound care.
- Recognizing and responding to urgent or emergent situations, initiating basic life support and other emergency measures while awaiting further assistance.
- Assisting with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including preparing the patient, assembling supplies and instruments, maintaining aseptic/sterile technique, and monitoring the patient before, during, and after procedures.
- Providing education and reinforcement of teaching to patients and families related to disease processes, treatment regimens, and self-care activities.
- Utilizing electronic medical record systems to document care accurately and timely in accordance with facility documentation guidelines.
- Practicing infection control and safety procedures, including the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to isolation precautions.
- Participating in interdisciplinary team conferences, performance improvement initiatives, and discharge planning to support optimal patient outcomes.
- Establishing therapeutic and respectful relationships with patients and families that foster trust, privacy, and dignity in care delivery.
- Serving as a preceptor to orient and mentor less experienced LPNs, nursing assistants, or health technicians.
- Actively seeking opportunities for continuing education and professional development to enhance clinical knowledge and competency.
