About Kimberly

Kimberly Ann Givens I have always known that my calling was in healthcare. I took care of my grandfather when he was battling cancer. Helping him out until his final months really emphasized my whole career choice. I then decided, after his passing, to go back to school and get my CNA certification. I have experience in long-term care and rehabilitation facilities. I am the type of person that asks to help, or to observe a procedure. I have assisted with ileostomy, colostomy, trachea care, stroke, and wound care. I always want to learn new things and am willing to enhance my career in any way. I have two children that I love dearly, and I hope to be someone that they look highly up to. I want my girls to be proud of what I do by helping people. I feel accomplished knowing that I can make a difference, or impact in someone’s life. I am passionate about what I do, and know that I can succeed well in the healthcare field. I know that having great staff, and an orderly mannered business, can make a company go far. I hope to become one of those employees that love to brag on service, and compassionate care at their job. It is all about the patient feeling comfortable with their care provider, and having that ability to help someone be at ease at sometimes difficult times. I think that I can grow in my career by working with your company. I appreciate you looking at my resume, and look forward to hearing back from you to set up a face to face, or over the phone, interview. I kn

    Experience & Education

    Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)

    Jul 2013 - Oct 2013
    Conway Manor Healthcare/Rehabilitation
    Conway Manor is a 3 in 1 type of facility. It has rehabilitation, long-term care, and also has its own wing for dementia/Alzh. patients. I have experience in all three wings. I was responsible for assisting the patients to do every day needs, but to also encourage them to do as much as they could for themselves. I assisted in bathing, eating, bathroom care, ambulating with the gait belt or lifts, etc. I was also in charge of keeping the patients rooms cleaned and safely clutter free. I reported and charted on any changes with each shift and patient.
