I have been in the nursing field for 20+years as a CNA and now a Medication Tech. Caring for people is my passion. I believe I am a good caregiver because I was taught by my mother who also was a CNA that you should treat people how they would want to be treated. In my mind that means respect, dignity, compassion and understanding. I did move away from nursing for a few year and went to school for computer tech but I always felt something was missing I wasn't my passion or something that made me happy. I got a job in a memory care unit and I found my heart again. now I'm Lead Med Tech won employee of the month. The only thing that I think is missing is I don't have much time to have one on one time with my residents. They are my family and I am theirs cause we see each other so much.
