My name is Coleen, I have over 10+ years experience in nursing
|
10+yrs experience, able to provide peritoneal dialysis, both twin bag and cycler, bowel and Catheter care, meal prep and medical injection. Also trained in tube feed care.
I took care of my father on a 24/7 basis giving him dialysis from home and stayed with him during all hospital stays.
My belief is that every person I care for should receive the same care as if they were my father. The reason I no longer work in long term care is due to the fact that I feel there are too many instances where the patients full care isn’t being considered and every patient requires different care even if they have the same diagnosis. My father was given 7 to 10 days, no more than 6 months and with the right care lived a full and happy 3.5years.
I have two grown children, looking to branch out and work more as my family schedule is more open.
