CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT
Professional Summary

I originally wanted to become an Elementary teacher until I was told I would make a wonderful nurse with how caring I am. I at first did not think I would be able to do the job so to test it out I went and took a CNA class and said I would work for a little to see how I liked it. I absolutely love it! I would like to further my education to becoming a Nurse so that I am able to help people in need and hopefully better their lives or at least help them live to the fullest for their remaining time here on Earth.

Efficient and reliable Certified Nursing Assistant with 7 years of experience in all settings such as Nursing home, Home healthcare, and hospital. I am adept at bathing, grooming, ambulating and feeding elderly and disabled patients. Familiar with advanced medical terminology and procedures. I believe that all members of the healthcare team should treat patients/residents as they would want their own loved ones to be treated.
