When I go into work everyday, I always remember what my RN instructor told me. If you can one person smile, you have done your job. I have made every single patient smile and ask for me again. I love doing my job as a CNA. I love taking care of people, getting them back up on there feet again. Its my job to put my self out of there job. I encourage the Independency to all my patients. I have been trained in 150 hours of CNA base class work and clinical hands on. Im certified through the state of New Mexico. Central New Mexico gave us 150 hours of training, exceeding OBRA standards. Im very friendly, kind and compassionate, if you need me there to just hold your hand through a rough time I'm there, its my job to insure safety of the patient and to see care all the way through.

I'm one of 15 siblings that my parents had. I live in Rio Rancho N.M with my husband and daughter. I've been employed with Walmart now for 5 years.

My husband is 62 and I am 53 we both have raised 4 children and with my husband getting older I feel the need to take care of both of us financially at the same time spend as much time with him as possible. After losing my parents and having to go to court, fighting for my fathers rights and belongings, while seeing from my own siblings what they can do to our parents during the time that they need us the most was very hurtful knowing that our parents raised us with respect and manners. they were there for all of us no matter how big or small the problem was. I was touched when amber staff came into our lives (my husband and I) to help and explain to us how to take ca
