I am a 19-year-old licensed vocational nurse student and have been a caregiver for the past year. I started doing Home Health with a company and then shortly after that got another job as a caregiver at a nursing home for residents that have Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, along with other various cognitive impaired patients. I have experiences with assisting in activity daily livings, such as bathing, toileting, lifting, medication administration, running errands, feeding, dressing, and light housekeeping. I have also assisted clients with straight catheters, maintaining catheters clean, and taking care of hospice clients. I am absolutely in love with what I do and cannot wait to graduate nursing school and further my education and expertise.
