I became a caregiver because I love to help those that are unable to help themselves. I like interacting with my patients and their families and making a strong connection with them. They make you part of their family and and I feel honored to have made that kind of impact on my patients. I have very proud of passing nursing school and getting my LVN license and getting a job working as a caregiver because I know that it will lead to bigger things in life like working in the medical field. I started going to school in 2005 right out of high school starting a Maric College for Medical Assistant, RCC Prerequisites, Four-D-College Vocational Nursing, and Red Cross for CNA. I graduated and got my LVN and I am now working as a caregiver at home instead senior care to get the experience I need to work into nursing field.
