About Sandra

My name is Sandra and I am a licensed Registered nurse who is CPR certified with years of experience in home care, I also have experience in long term care settings, assisted living, hospitals, rehabs-etc. I am currently an online graduate student and I have one active home-care case. I received my Bachelors in 2012 and I am proud of the fact, despite my agony and disgust over horrible patient care, that my goals to be a nurse and reform lives, has never changed, regardless of the paycheck. I believe every human being has the right to live their life with dignity and respect. I encourage all of my patients to be involved in their treatment decisions and I encourage them to play an active role in self management of chronic conditions, if they can. I am not expecting more money, because of my qualifications, but the patient and their families will not have to worry, should an emergency occur. I am honest, trustworthy, compassionate, and good company. Please allow me the chance to meet you and your loved ones; it will be my pleasure! Thank you! Sandra

I can do any home care nursing services that you need; IV therapy, blood draws, bed-side care, wound care, assessments, tube feedings, bathing, grooming, cooking, shopping, incontinent care, run errands, drive patient to appointments, grocery shopping, and be their friend.. I love to talk and listen to their stories. I love to listen to old music; Jazz, Blues, Classical, Sinatra,or whatever the patient likes. I believe we all have the right to be treated as human beings, with dignity and pride. I try to encourage autonomy, but I don't force it. I am loving, kind, compassionate, and empathetic. I still love old fashion nursing; this is my way of giving back to the profession. I will be teaching nursing students, next semester, in long term care settings, this job offers me the opportunity and flexibility to do what I love most, patient care. Thank you! Sandra
