I am a mother of 2 toddlers and I feel that the elderly need just as much help, love, and care as a toddler. I can dress, change, cook, clean, bathe. I know how to tell whether the water in bathtub is too hot or too cold for someone.(check with either wrist or elbow) I know how to give insulin to diabetic patients.(My grandmother was insulin dependent and she taught me to shake up insulin, draw it up in the syringe, and to give the shot in the belly, or back underside of the arm.) I know how to deal with patients who have incontinence.(I have incontinence due to an overactive bladder, my mom had incontinence, my grandmother had incontinence.) I know how to deal with cancer patients. (My mother had breast cancer, and died of uterine cancer and was on hospice. My grandmother had breast cancer, colon cancer that metastasized to the lungs and died of brain cancer) My grandmother had four different types of cancer throughout her life, had myasthenia gravis(a form of muscular dystrophy), glaucoma, high blood pressure, manic depression, OCD, anxiety, diabetes(insulin dependent), and was a nurse. My mother was a medical assistant and medical administrative assistant, my aunt is a nurse, and when I was a teenager my mother still had all of her medical terminology dictionaries which I studied because I want to be an ultrasound technician and massage therapist. I want this job to get some healthcare jobs under my belt before going into what I want to be because it will look better on me having awesome work ethics which everyone knows work ethics begins within the home. I am very compassionate, kind hearted, an empath, have sympathy for everything and everyone around me, have a very big heart, and want to give back to those who deserve it which I think the people who deserve it the most is our veterans and the elderly.
