I became a caregiver to gain the knowledge and the experience to become the best nurse I could be. I became a Certified Nurse Assistant in 1993. The elders have always been my favorite population to work with. They all have stories and so much to say. I was able to live in England for three years and worked in a hospital as well as assited living. I gained the knowledge of new skills as well as putting my old skills into use. I almost stayed over there because they need nurses too. I chose to return to the United States beacuse my mom and dad live here in Paso Robles. I am very blessed because I am a local and often sought out to care for locals loved ones. I truly believe that this is my calling for the rest of my life. I continue to improve my education and am on the road to becoming a nurse.
