Vocational Nurse Resume
Vocational nurses provide basic nursing care to patients at hospitals, nursing homes, doctors' office, assisted living facilities and at patients' homes. Patients dropping in for a treatment at any of these medical setting often visit these nurses first. The preparatory work such as taking medical history, checking vital signs, and preparing a patient chart are done by them. After the preliminary work is done, they send patients to meet the doctor qualified in assessing and treating their medical conditions.
If you have completed a one-year course in nursing from a recognized community college and are detail-oriented, good in communication and interacting with people, and love to serve others, you can try for this job.
