I was a CNA/RNA for 15yrs and worked in Convalescent Centers and also as a Home Health Aid.I worked full time as a CNA and part-time in the kitchen as a kitchen aid to pay for my LVN school.I also worked at Promise Suburban Hospital in Paramount, Martin Luther king jr community Hospital as a CNA. My first jos as a LVN was at College Medical Center in Hawthorne is a Psychiatric hospital, Coast Medical Services it a Registery so they send me where needed, and now I work at the Los Angeles Department of Public health. I have gained a lot of experience in different settings over the years but the most part the i love and injoy is the direct contact with the patients being able to help them.
