Molly Luskey

In this position I was part of a team of people responsible for maintaining the parks throughout the city of St. Paul. Cutting grass, plowing snow, trimming trees, inspecting playground equipment, clearing trash, assisting with set up of large scale events with both internal and external organizations, were some of my duties. I did them while presenting excellent customer service to the residents and visitors of St. Paul MN.

I worked in a team environment and independently while exhibiting my strong work ethic, attention to detail, and emphasis on safety, as many of these tasks were completed in high traffic, pedestrian areas with dangerous equipment at times.

I managed my time efficiently in order to complete tasks while also demonstrating the ability the adopt a different strategy at short notice.

My customer service skills reflect respect, friendliness, and willingness to help when dealing with the public and my colleagues.

My role as a General Maintenance Worker at South Central College was focused on maintaining the safety and cleanliness of the college building and outside grounds. This position required self motivation and a strong sense of personal responsibility as I worked independently cleaning, sweeping, mopping, removing trash, and vacuuming classrooms and common spaces of the college campus. I hand shoveled snow to clear walkways and used a snow blower as well. I operated various hand tools and specialized equipment like floor machines and conducted regular inspections of my designated area for potential hazards and safety concerns.

While working as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Forensic Nursing Home on the St. Peter Regional Treatment Center campus, I assisted the patients with their activities of daily living which included, dressing, personal hygiene, bathing, eating, and ambulation on and off the unit. Documentation was an integral part of my daily tasks with the information providing data to change and/or support care plans and to assist with multi -team decisions.

I accompanied patients to appointments on and off campus often driving our facilities Mini-bus to Mankato, Minneapolis, and Rochester.

Ensuring the safety of patients and staff was a main objective and I was able to do this by following the care plan, implementing de-escalation techniques and building a strong rapport with each individual on the unit.

The Forensic Nursing Home allowed myself and teammates an opportunity to plan and facilitate recreational activities for our patients in addition to the Recreational Therapist on staff.

While working on the Med-Surg unit at Rivers Edge Hospital, I was responsible for preparing patients before their surgical procedure and post procedure by getting a complete set of vital signs, temperature, blood pressure, O2 levels, pulse and respirations. I assisted the patients with personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, ambulation, and range of motion exercises post surgery and tested blood sugar levels several times a shift when indicated from the care plan.

I maintained a clean, safe environment by sanitizing surfaces, changing linens, and disposing of waste properly. I answered call lights and offered immediate assistance in emergency situations.

I provided accurate daily documentation of patient information according to established protocols for record-keeping purposes.

I adapted care practices to meet needs of diverse patient populations, ensuring culturally sensitive care.

While working as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Lutheran Home, I had experience on three different units. Memory Care, Long Term Care, and Temporary Care. Although similar in the objective of helping patients, following care plans, answering call lights, assisting residents with their ADL's, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, eating, ambulation, daily documentation, each unit had it's own caveats,

Memory care required a greater emphasis on reading non-verbal cues, LTC allowed me to build relationships with residents and their families, and TCU was an opportunity to learn acute care,including wound and Hospice care.
