Jeannette M.

I have my Certified Caregiving and Certified Nurse Assistant (and PCT) License for 9 years now. I am currently working as A CNA providing care to immigrants that need to quarantine but my job there will be ending soon mid December 2023. I began gaining experience in caregiving, assisted living, rehabilitation centers and have done 3 years night shift at St.Joseph's hospital. I am now in school to receive my bachelors as a Registered Nurse. I have a passion to strive for the care and needs of others as if they are apart of my own family. I also strive to develop trust with not only the patient but the family to always ensure excellent care and respect.

I am a firm believer that yet there is loss of cognition as well as physical abilities in the older population it is important to regain and or maintain self sufficiency as much as possible by learning their needs and approach with unconditional love. I have an unconditional love for the elderly as well as the ill. I have an extensive background in healthcare. I have worked in many different settings whether that is nursing homes, homecare, hospitals. Mainly hospitals. Extensive work history in Med. Surg/Tele/Post Partum/ICU/Burn Unit/Rehab/Ortho/Oncology/Transitional Care Unit/Inmate Ward/Pediatrics/ER units. Ever since I took care of my grandmother when I was 21 yrs. of age, I knew then that this is my calling. I have acquired achievements during my career whether by thank you notes, a prayer book by Joel Osteen. It's the simple rewards that give me satisfaction. While employed at St. Mary's Carondelet I was recognized by the Unit Base Committee on the MSO (medical,surgical,oncology unit) for being the best employee as well as the best rounder. I have the documentation. No greater reward for me than knowing that I took care of the pt. to the best of my ability. It's not about the money.
