Resume Wording for Home Health

[84RN]

I'm updating my resume and unsure of how I should word my home health experience, and Googling home health rn resume hasn't helped.

I've worked for one agency for almost 2 years, and it's my only recent work experience after a decade out of the workforce, so I want it to stand out.

What should I inlcude and how should I say it?

or the longer version:

Extensive OASIS training.

Used McKesson's Horizon Homecare software for point-of-care clinical documentation.

Performed monthly chart audits and assisted Director of Nursing with preparing for JCAHO/CHAP survey.
