I was working in housekeeping at Oak Grove nursing and I was taking care of my mother at home. An opening came up for an NA and they paid for school so I started working the floor then full time after I got my CNA. I know what the people are going through and and how feels to have a family member that is about to go. now I know what it takes to help the patient and the family get through all of it because I have been on both sides now. It is very rewarding to be beside the patient as the recover or just to be there for the last days to help and give back to them and family's. I am a very loving person that likes to try to get people to smile and be happy even if they are in pain. I don't think what they are going through should all be bad. I will try to make them comforter and and have a little fun at the same time. I did not start doing this till I was 42 years old and sad I found my calling so late in life but I am a mother of 4 at the same time they are all grown up now.
