About Marlene

My name is Marlene Bowman and I have attended Carbondale University in 1997 for Certified Nurse Assistant and I passed the state exam July 1997. I attended colleges courses for nursing at South Suburban College and Chicago City Colleges starting 2001. I am currently enrolled in the Human Resources Administration program at San Joaquin Valley College online courses. My passion in life is to assist and help the elderly, ill, disable, and the young. If I had a power in this world, it would to save lives. I believe life is the most important thing to our creator. Human beings are the best creation ever and very precious. I love helping, living and spreading the love of caring. I have been working in the medical field since 1997 with clients ranging from newborn to over a hundred years old. I have worked in peoples home as a live-in Certified Nurse Assistant and I have worked in nursing homes and supportive living facilities providing quality care to all of my residents. I absolutely love working in the medical field. I live, breathe and think of my passion daily and that is helping and assisting others.

I have always worked In the medical Field since I was out of high school. I have experience in resolving unpaid medical bills since one of my previous jobs was just doing that. Another job I had was working with an eye specialist so I do know about glasses, contacts, optics, etc. I always get the best prices for my family and friends. My mom has diabetes so I always try to make sure she eats right. In fact I had taken nutrition classes just for her. I take ungoing courses because I enjoy learning about health.
