Registered Practical Nurses prepare and administer routine medications and treatments as directed. RPNs clean wounds and lesions, prepare, apply or replace dressings and bandages, and occasionally provide personal care for as required, and perform housekeeping duties.

All RNs are leaders and leadership is expressed in different ways throughout ones career and role, either formally or informally. In long term care, the RN is the leader of the nursing team. As leader, the RN is visible to clients, families, and others to plan, coordinate, problem solve, and provide direct care. The RN exemplifies the leader role through skilled communication and effective management of health care resources. The leader anticipates the future needs of clients and works toward preparing for them.

Social Service Workers are trained to work with people who are experiencing distressing events in their lives, from both an individual perspective, and in a way that examines how society can contribute to challenges and crises in people’s lives.

Developmental Service Workers promote the development and maintenance of health and well being, life skills, and personal empowerment of people with developmental disabilities. They have theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in the social service, education and health areas.
