EXPERIENCE/SKILLS 2009-MARCH 2020 REGISERED PRACTICAL NURSE, THE WYNFIELD LTC, OSHAWA I was an RPN supervisor in a locked and secured Alzheimer’s/Dementia unit. I cared for 26 residents and supervise 3 Personal Support Workers (PSW’s). I am in good standing with CNO (College of Nurses of Ontario) and licensed RPN. I have my CPR certificate, defibrillator and first aid. GPA certified (gentle persuasive approach) which provides you with the knowledge and what interventions should be used when and when dealing with challenging behaviors. PIECES certified (focusing on enhancing the care for residents with complex physical and cognitive/mental health needs and behavior changes). BSO (Behavioral Support Ontario) this was a temporary position. I collaborated with a Psychogeriatric nurse Consultant (PRC) and The Wynfield’s multidisciplinary team. I helped focus on and implement “person centered care” for each individual resident with challenging and complex behaviors, and helped come up with effective strategies to prevent and manage behavioral issues. I was also a Preceptor this past summer with a Durham College RPN student. I provided my nursing student with the opportunity to consolidate knowledge, skills, and safe practice in a long-term care setting. I also provided a supportive, caring and positive learning environment for the student. I resigned from the Wynfield after working 10 years there. I left in good standing and have references from there that I will provide upon request.
