About Malinda

I became a CNA cause I like helping the elderly and being their for them. It makes my day when I put a smile on their faces and hearing them say Thank You. When I did HHA, it made me so happy that a couple of clients did not want anyone else but me and that got my self-esteem and pride up so high, because I never thought I was that good, until then and this was just recently, and they would also ask me if I am coming back and I would say yes and they would say that's great cause we like you and you are a great person and it would feel great when their family member's felt the same way. I have been a CNA for 27 years. I have experience in working in a nursing home and doing home health. And I also helped take care of my mother-in-law that had dementia, which was very sad seeing her have that and when she passed away it made want to do home health, so can help people, be their for them like I was for my mother-in-law. I really enjoy working with the elderly, and plus I always thought that if that was my mom and dad that they deserve the best care because that is what I would expect from everyone, no ifs and butts about. I did not work from Aug. 1997 to Feb.2013 as a CNA due to moving to Wichita, and plus since I did not Work as a CNA for awhile thought I would have to take the whole CNA course all over again and there's no way I could afford that, but then found out that I just needed to get reinstated, so I got it reinstated, which I was so grateful.

    Always Best Care Of The Heartland-Gweneth Burbank(316-337-5570)
    assisted clients with showers, did breathing treatments, put on oxygen, gave them medicine, cooked, cleaned for them, used the hoy lift, gave bed bath, turned client every 2 hours, got dressed and undressed, transferred from recliner to walker/wheelchair then to bed, assisted to bathroom, changed client's depend and cleaned up. I quit because I did NOT like how they were treating the client's and their families. They blamed me for a client quitting the company. They were cheating me out of hours and pay. They were going to fire me due to my 2 younger children having surgery. And the RN and the other worker's even the owner were NOT doing their jobs like they were suppose to be, and I was even getting into trouble by doing the charting the way the client's family wanted me to chart and really it's up to the family and the client, the way I look at.
