Hello! I have copied my resume, ,but taken out specific names, numbers and addresses. I am looking for a new job. Bed side nursing is too much for me. I have major depression and anxiety, plus fatigue issues. I currently work on a rehab floor in a nursing home. A lot of places I have applied to say i don't have any acute care experience. (I worked in a hospital for only 3 months...) This floor has become rather subacute lately. Our admissions team is accepting all kinds of patients we don't have the staff to care for. Multiple behaviors, severe dementia, inability to care for themselves after weeks of therapy, people with respiratory problems... This week we sent 3 people BACK to the hospital for uncontrolled pain, high BP, respiratory status changes...ect. How can I show that in my resume. I am not good with words and playing this resume game...
Please note, the formatting may be out of whack when I add the document.
Thank you so much in advance for any help!!!
