About Angela

Since a very young age I have always been interested in spending time with people who have deficits in the ADLs and other parts of their occupations. I love to help and make people smile. I'll be finishing my degree in Occupational Therapy by the summer of 2016 and this is my greatest achievement for now. I Love meeting different people, every day can bring on a new challenge and you are constantly learning. I can get emotionally attached to a person I am caring for, so if something goes wrong I'm very much affected. In saying that, it makes me feel good knowing that I have made a difference in someone's life and brought them comfort during a difficult time. Sometimes that is easier said then done, and when your client passes away or no longer requires your care it can be very emotional, but knowing you have made a difference is a source of comfort.

    As a PCT I aided nurses in transfers, IV insertions, PICC line insertion and patient catheterization. Vital sign checking and documentaions are very critic al to aid nurses in providing accurate medication. i checked for blood sugars and reported it to nurses if they of not in normal limits, patients with bathroom priviledges were still given a stand by assistance just incase. As a PSA, I'd answered inbound call bells and rerout callas from patients rooms to their respective nurses as well as calling consults to designated physicians.

    As a CNA of thisfacility I maintained confidentiality of all residents, facility and/or physician related information. I maintained resident confidentiality and did not discuss resident in public areas such as the cafeteria, hallways, elevators, etc. Patient safety and satisfaction was a priority for all CNAs including myself. Necessary ADLs like feeding, bathing, grooming, ambulation, tranfers and medication reminders were best of the best during my stay as a CNA at Roswell Nsg & rehab.
