I have been i health care since 1990. I began homecare as a personal care aid in 2002 and continued through 2005 .I took a CNA class and became a certified nurse aide in December 2005.I worked at numerous nursing homes due to each one closing down not enough funding to stay afloat. My last home care closed up in July of 2010 .I began a CNA career at our local hospital. I love helping people that are in need of help with the daily activites of life. I have been called an "angel from God" by some of my patients I have worked with. I feel good about that because I did something for someone and it feels good. I have been in nursing facilities and to see the sadness from the loneleness they encounter each day of being confined in there. At least if I am in a home working with patients they feel better ,more freedom and to know someone is there for them makes a big difference.

My name is Lisa Pearsall. I am 29 years old and I have three children. I am currently a nursing student and work as a Home Health Aide. I became a caregiver in 2006 because I wanted to help improve the quality of care given to individuals in need. I enjoy being a caregiver because I know that I make a difference. I encourage my clients to do their very best and acknowledge them when they do even the simplest things for their selves. A personal achievement of mine as a CNA would have to be that I caught a severe problem that a client of mine had, just by observation. I noticed her skin was a slight yellow and her blood pressure wasn't bad but wasn't her norm either. I contact my supervisor, which then contacted her daughter. She was taken to the hospital and they found out she had pancreatic cancer. The doctors told her if she hadn't went she wouldn't of made it through the night. She ended up living another 2 weeks. He family contacted me and were so grateful that I seen the signs of change in her. They said hat because of me, they were able to have 2 more weeks with her.
