I think about the person as if It was my grandparent or my parents. I try to give the best care and make sure that they are comfortable. I will make sure they eat healthy and get there medicine on time. I got into the field when my grandma took sick and I was with her til the end and then when my dad had a stroke, it gave me more of a chance to care for him like he took care of me. One of my accomplishments is that I'm continuing to get more training in the nursing field. I have my CNA, CMT, and CPR, so I have a lot of certifications to be able to take care of someone if there was an emergency. I'm a caring, reliable, and outgoing person that people like being around.
