I feel that it is our responsibility to care for those in need, whether they be family or strangers, disabled, sick, or elderly. I began caring for people at a young age (10). My grandmother was disabled (prosthetic leg). My grandfather had been on g-tube feedings for 15 years at that point and I helped with those. In 2005 I obatined my CNA 1 license and worked at WakeMed Hospital in the Rehab department. I helped those who had been in car accidents or who had recently had knee and hip replacements. I helped them with activitites of daily living. While employed there I gained experience with hoyer lifts, gait belts, catheters, prostethic limbs, and other medical devices. I worked with pateints suffered from dementia and alzheimers. I was also given the opportunity to work with people who were under Hospice care. I helped make their last days as pleasant and comfortable as possible. In 2006 I began working for the department of corrections. I worked in the hospital facility where I was exposed to more medical and health issues/needs and continued to help people on a daily basis. I currently work for the Department of Public Safety (Formerly Department of Corrections) as a supervisor (custody, not health care). I would like an opportunity to help people like I was able to in the past. It brings joy to my life (an hopefully to those that I help) when I am able to assist them with accomplishing simple things that most people take for granted such as brushing their hair and teeth
