I have three years of experience as a Geriatric Psych LPN, where I provided direct patient care, administered medications, and assisted in developing care plans tailored to the unique needs of elderly patients with mental health conditions. I also collaborated with psychiatrists and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care.

I approach challenging behaviors with empathy and patience, understanding that they often stem from underlying mental health issues or cognitive decline. I use de-escalation techniques, such as active listening and maintaining a calm demeanor, to create a safe environment for both patients and staff.

I encourage social interaction, engage patients in therapeutic activities, and promote a structured daily routine to help maintain mental clarity and emotional stability. I also educate patients and their families on the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep for overall mental health.

I use clear and simple language, maintain eye contact, and speak at a slower pace to ensure understanding. I also use visual aids and repetition when necessary, and I involve family members or caregivers in the communication process to facilitate better comprehension.

I prioritize tasks based on patient needs, safety concerns, and the urgency of medical interventions. I create a daily schedule that includes time for patient care, documentation, and team meetings, ensuring that all essential duties are completed efficiently and effectively.
