Very compassionate about caring for others. Helping others who can't help themselves. Knowing that my hard work and great bedside manner brightens up someones day in their time of need. Worked at the Rehabilitation Institute Of Chicago for 7 Years as a PCT, on the stroke/Neuro floor. I had a patient who was suffering from Cancer. I was able to give the patient great motivational speeches to look forward to another day. Work hard in therapy to build up strength. Give him a good laugh on a daily basis. (After all that). After being released from Rehab, the patient and his wife had a specially made wooden plaque in honor of me, engraved with my name on it. And, also engraved in the plaque, was how I was the best caregiver they had encountered since his battle with cancer. The patient, has since lost his battle with Cancer. I will always cherish that plaque. Because. It shows me. My empathy, great bedside manner and hard work, to make sure my patients have the best recovery, I could possibly give them, is appreciated. I have been a CNA for 14 years. I am very compassionate about helping others. Dependable, hard working, finish all task in a timely manner. I am C.P.R certified, CPI certified to work with the mentally ill, EKG certified. I am now at Kindred Hospital working on the Telemetry unit, and my patient and staff members, just love my attitude, work ethic and smiley face everyday. Managers and other departmental staff members recognize and commend me on my professiona
