Following the "6 Rights/3 Checks" protocol ensures safe medication administration, and you'll accurately document this in residents' electronic charts and eMAR. You'll also calibrate capillary blood glucose (CBG) machines, obtain and document CBG readings, and perform and document a narcotic count at the beginning and end of each shift, reporting any discrepancies. Ensuring timely medication orders and stepping up with leadership duties when needed in the absence of the Charge Nurse will be part of your role, along with other duties as assigned.
