About Makenna

I want to be someone who makes life easier on my patients and their family, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be on everyone involved. I love this career, I have been doing it for several years and because of that I have a wide variety of experience such as advanced memory care, cancer treatment, colostomy care, diabetes and most recently I worked at a kidney dialysis facility as a patient care technician. I'm always open to learning new things and broadening my experience.

empacare homecare
I worked the overnight shift by myself handling 30+ patients. Every two hours I would change the diaper of the clients who needed it, every hour I was doing check ins on all the patients who needed it. I had the phone on me as well so whoever called in the night I helped them too. I did laundry and medication prep during the night to help out the next shift. I also would give showers and meds to a few residents in the morning before I left.

At 1 am every morning I would set up the dialysis center before our first patients arrived at around 3am. Mixing acid/bicarb, setting up machines and disinfecting everything before and after use. I would then cannulate two IVs on the patient for treatment and monitor them through out the treatment then I would take them off and disinfect for the next patient.
