I worked with the nurse that supervises the medicine technicians and CNAs to determine the proper training procedures that needed to be included and interviewed current staff members to get information that would be useful in training material for new staff members. Wrote policies based on state regulations. To gather the necessary information I researched the regulations and collaborated with the nurse to make the documents usable for the facility. Under the direction of the management, I rewrote and edited existing documents to increase usability. To do this I met with management and we identified the problems with the original documents and determined how they could be more usable.
