Licensed Practical Nurse LinkedIn About section example

I'm a licensed practical nurse who has spent five years in long-term care, where good nursing is about knowing each resident well. On my unit I complete medication passes for about 30 residents, manage wound care, update care plans and keep families in the loop. I'm GPA-trained and comfortable supporting residents with dementia and responsive behaviours. Last year I helped our team cut medication-pass time by reorganising our cart and timing — without skipping a single check. I'm licensed with my provincial practical nursing regulator and I keep my continuing competency up to date. I'm open to LPN roles in long-term care or acute care in Edmonton. Feel free to message me.
