About Laurie

I wanted to become a nurse to help people. To listen to people and make them feel cared about. While I was taking care of my mother for the last 10 years of her life. Many nurses noticed the care I gave to my mother and told me, "You should be a nurse, you would be a great nurse!" I like seeing the looks on patients faces, when they notice I am really listening to them and I remember how they like their coffee. I excelled in my classes. I was happy whenever I earned 100% on a test. I was also happy when I could help my classmates understand something. I am currently a CNA. In 5 years I hope to be able to go back to school and become and RN.

    San Diego Continuing Education
    I worked over 100 hours at two clinical sites. St. Paul's Skilled Nursing and Stanford Court Nursing Center of Santee. My patients liked having me as their nurse. They told me they were going to "Miss my sweet smile and my kind ways." I transferred patients. I brought them their meals. I fed and bathed patients.

    Caregiver

    Jan 2004 - Apr 2015
    N/A
    I took care of my mother every Sunday. I fixed her healthy, tasty, meals. I changed her and dressed her. I transferred her from her bed to her wheelchair and back again many times. I helped her on and off of the toilet. After her stroke, I fed her. Fixed her hair and dressed her. The nurses were impressed with how well I took care of her, without any help and without any training.

    Regardless of the situation, I was consistently prepared to step in and teach a class, at a moments notice. I worked well with parents, psychologists, speech pathologists, and administrators. I am a self-starter who uses my time productively.

    I tutored my students in what ever subject they needed tutoring in, usually math. I arrived at their homes on time and did not leave until their time was up. I made sure they understood the concepts before moving on to the next lesson.
