ckl257 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi, For CASPA, is it appropriate to use abbreviations? For example I&D for incision and drainage or UA for urinalysis and do you typically bullet your description under work experience or write full complete sentences? trying to stay under the character count is proving kind of difficult! any responses will help! thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kepicsdm Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Personally, the only abbreviations I used were PA and PA-C. They are looking for concise communication. I had a lot of people look at my statement message me if you would like some help editing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.gurklys Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hello, so for the duties section, should we enter bullet points for duties only or a short narrative with what I did, learned, and accomplished? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Just keep it simple as you would for a resume. Here's what I wrote on my ER Tech duties for CASPA: - Performing various POCT devices such as EKGs & accuchecks on adult, pediatric, and neonate patients. - Reading and interpreting EKGs, while producing a recording of acceptable quality. - Performing patient care activities under the supervision of an RN/MD/DO. - Assisting with CPR, bandaging, splinting, wound care, triage, spinal immobilization, transport, blood draws for stat lab, and equipment/supplies/environmental maintenance. - Deliver IV solutions & instrument trays that contain medications in the process of setting up for procedures. - Taking patient vital signs - Splinting, wound care and informing patients regarding after care instructions.
