I'm interested in becoming a caregiver because I think I'm very qualified for this job. I got into nurse assistants while I was in high school; it started out as a school program just to keep me busy. Now you could say I fell in love with the program. Making me a great candidate to be hired and work for them after I graduate. Which me working hard and determined to be chosen, I was accepted. So now I'm 1 year into my job, as a nurse assistant. When it comes to dealing with caregiving I'm very loving and mindset on making sure that they are satisfied, comfortable, but not only that I make sure they get what they need. Some things I enjoy as a nurse assistants is just getting to know the patients on a personal level. I don't think of them just as a job. I take care of them with love and respect as if they were my family. I would have to call that my favorite part, the patient become more than just patients making it feel like i want to work everyday verse a need. When it comes to achievements I haven't received major awards but the compliments from my patients and coworkers I value that more than an award.
