Currently I am a Nursing major and the clients that I care for during clinical time are wonderful, however I would like to be able to care for a person longer than a day or two. More often than not, I'm unable to see care through from admission to discharge, which is one of the aspects I wish to obtain in becoming a member of the CareLinx team. My passion for helping others stems from always seeing my mother work hard, even through illness. When I was younger, my mother frequented the hospital because she suffered from heart disease; I was never able to help her do anything because she would tell me I was too young or that she was okay. Looking back now, I realize that she was not okay and I strongly believe that because I was never able to fulfill the desire to aid her in her time of need I have made it my passion to assist others now that I am capable. I am a very patient person and I think that is key when you are assisting those in need. I always try my best to keep my client's focus off of any limitations he or she may have while magnifying his or hers capabilities. In doing so my clients generally express more positivity and they often thank me for actually treating them like a person instead of a duty of the job.
