1) I, NELDA, HAD MY FIRST JOB AT 16 Y.O. AS A CERTIFIED NURSE ASSISTANT. STILL HAVE WORKED IN THIS FIELD AS OF 2017-JANUARY. HAVE SOME COLLEGE MEDICAL TRAINING UNDER MY BELT AS WELL. ONE OF MY MAIN STRAITS IS THAT I ENJOY THE ATMOSPHERE OF WORKING ONE ON ONE WITH OLDER, RETIRED INDIVIDUALS. I LEARN SO MUCH FROM THEM. 2). AS MENTIONED, MY FIRST JOB AT 16 WAS IN A NURSING HOME. I SORT OF JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THE COMARADERY AMOUNGST CLIENT AND STAFF/CAREGIVER. 3). WHAT I ENJOY MOST IS THE CLOSENESS BETWEEN CAREGIVER & CLIENT/PATIENT WHEN YOU CAN FOCUS ALL YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION ON THEIR NEEDS. 4). MY PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT IS THAT I'VE GOTTEN SOME EDUCATION IN THE MEDICAL FIELD & AM PROUD THAT I CHOSE TO STAY IN THIS FIELD OF WORK. I LOVE DOING ONE ON ONE HEALTHCARE !
