I started my career in 2000 when my Mother had a stroke. After she died in 2001, I moved my Grandmother into my home . Shortly after she died in 2003 my adult son was in (full trauma) car accident, I stayed with him at OHSU trauma unit and participated in his care for the month he was there .When he was discharged he still needed 24 hour care at home . It was obvious to me this experience became a passion and When he was able to walk and care for himself I got my CNA certification . I have worked in Locked Memory Unit with 12 residents . Adult foster home.(live in )3 day a week, Long Term care, and skilled nursing homes. Private Care- hourly and live-in. Also managed and staffed , hourly Private care home so the client could stay in her home until the end. My current job: I have been employed 8yr in a hospital on the Med/ surg unit, I am a trainer for the new hires and a mentor for the CNA students during their clinical . I love my work and I enjoy teaching new employee organization and multitasking .
