Nursing Assistant - Temple, United States - Department Of Veterans Affairs
Description
Summary
The Nursing Assistant (NA) performs basic nursing duties under close supervision in a variety of health care settings such as outpatient, inpatient, home, or community living care, acute, sub-acute. The NA will care for patients/residents with acute to chronic conditions.
Duties
CTVHCS is in the process of making a cultural change, shifting from a disease-focused approach to a health and wellbeing approach, in order to implement the Whole Health System of Care. This is a VA-wide initiative to provide a comprehensive and systematic approach to improve healthcare delivery at all stages of Veteran care. This entails moving from an episodic, "siloed" approach to an interdisciplinary, holistic approach, emphasizing self-care in the larger context of well-being. All staff in this facility will be part of this process, shifting the focus from the question, "What's the matter with you?" to the question, "What matters to you, and how can we help you live your best life?" This strategy also involves integrating a full range of conventional approaches with Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) approaches in order to optimize lifelong health and well-being, as defined by the Veteran, rather than narrowly focusing on disease management.
Major Duties as Assigned, but not limited to:
CLINICAL PRACTICE:
Work Schedule: Rotating Nights/Weekends/Holidays: 7:30am-4:00pm,7:30am - 8:00pm, 3:30pm-12:00am, 11:30pm-8:00am, 7:30pm - 8:00am, 11:30am - 8:00pm
Telework: Not Available
Virtual: This is not a virtual position.
