Being a certified nurses assistant means the value of giving myself to others that are limited in their ability to care for themselves, whether it be for reasons of disability,chronic illness, terminal illness or rehabilitation. The transition from the comforts of one's own home to a long term or skilled care facility (even hospitals) can be very difficult, for the client as well as the clients family and significant others. So it is important for me to provide the best care possible for each and every individual,treating them as a human FIRST and then a patient, this is an important quality that cna's possess but most healthcare professionals forget about. While being a cna is usually a fast-paced environment due to having to see to it that each individuals needs are met and in a timely fashion, those few seconds are minutes I spend to sit at eye level and reminisce over a picture or a song with a resident mean the world to them and in turn is better than pay for me....When asked if I desired a different profession,other than healthcare, by one of my residents, I thought of the smiles, advice, tears, hugs, and appreciation I would miss and with joy in my heart I responded "absolutely not"......being a certified nurses assistant means EVERYTHING TO ME.
