About Carla

Caring and serving others has always been a passion of mine. That passion drove me to pursue a career in nursing. Currently, I am twenty years old and enrolled in a nursing program. I have just finished my first semester of my BSN program and have already gained a lot of experience with caring for others in the hospital setting. Due to my completion of the fundamentals of nursing class I am qualified to become a certified nursing assistant. My paperwork for my license is still in progress but I assure you I am qualified to complete any and all tasks just because of the professional training I have received from my nursing program. Why work as a caregiver, you ask? Because I would like to gain experience caring for others in a non-hospital setting. Being accepted into a Bachelor's of Nursing program at such a young age is a personal achievement that I am proud of because it took a lot of work, sacrifice, and perseverance to make it into the program. I completed my first two years of college at a community college. It was a difficult journey and I had to make a lot of sacrifices. I took eighteen units every single semester, took classes over summer breaks, worked a part-time job, stayed involved serving in my church, continuously volunteered at UC Davis Medical Center, and spent all my free time studying to pass all my difficult classes. But all that hard work was worth it the minute I stepped into my first day of nursing school. Why go through all that trouble to become a nurs

    I have been a caregiver my whole life It started with observing my Mother. I don't reserve my caregiving to just people, it just requires care. I like to bring Joy to those who have lost so much, and they are usually the nicest people. In several cases I have been one of the last people to help them feel "normal" . My ideal job would be for someone who wants to "get better". I have great energy for thatAt the end of the day you feel good by helping to stretch out normal It can get stressful, but i enjoy what I do.. I have been at the feet of people who are passing, and the feet of someone who died and returned. I can help with physical therapy, am a good cook, and know our hospitals. I can do far more than clean.
