Question
which of your duties do you look forward to performing?

Answer
Hi,Kaylee!
I do consulting at several facilities,and I enjoy interacting with the nursing staff. They usually have a few questions/concerns for me when I arrive. Sometimes it's a resident that is having problems and the nurses suspect a drug interaction or think the dosage of a med may need to be adjusted up or down. It makes me feel needed when they say that I'm just the person they wanted to see. Sometimes it takes a bit of detecting to see if you can find out what the problem is and how it can be resolved. I enjoy doing this because it's never the same thing. Hope this helps, Mary
