  Provide care and assistance to clients in the comfort of their own home. I started out as a caregiver and when I received my LPN certification my skill set broadened. As an RN my tasks now include administering medication, wound care, diabetes education, care, and complication prevention, establishing daily routines, improving home safety for clients, and data collection. Tasks: Medication administration, wound care, post surgical care, diabetes care and complication prevention, monitor I & O, injections, IV monitoring, vital signs, and monitoring overall patient health. As a caregiver I assisted clients with tasks of daily living and accompanied them to various medical appointments. I also assisted in establishing daily routines, organization of medical care, and collected data.
