As a personal support worker (PSW) I provide essential care and assistance to individuals who require support due to illness, disability, or aging. My role typically involves aiding with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication management, and light housekeeping. I also offer emotional support and companionship, ensuring the well-being and comfort of my residents. I work closely with healthcare professionals to implement care plans tailored to the specific needs of each individual, striving to enhance their quality of life and promote independence whenever possible.
In the emergency department, I played a critical role in triaging patients, conducting rapid assessments, administering urgent interventions, coordinating care, advocating for patients, providing education, ensuring accurate documentation, and offering emotional support to patients and families in crises.
