Supervised and monitored students while outside of school hours. Developed a healthy relationship with students while maintaining a professional role. Documented and administered medication to students as well as helped them make appointments with the clinic and provided transportation. Made sure students were aware of dorm and school rules and if not, I took the time to explained them and let them know the consequences of not following posted rules. I would hold weekly meetings with my unit where we would cook or play games as well as educated them on various topics such as Hygiene, the importance of being responsible and how to properly clean their room. When need be, I would communicate a student's needs or concerns to the proper authorities on campus. I handled a lot of crises on campus where I would go in and de-escalate the situation and make sure the student was safe and monitored. I always re-laid information to my coworkers about the day's events and made sure to document those as well.
