About Vernita Edwina

I my is Vernita, I am a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 20+years as a experience caregiver. My personality traits are my attentiveness, patience, empathy, compassion, dependability, reliable, trustworthiness ,and flexibility. After watching my mom, take care of my grandmother in our home. I knew then I wanted to be more hands-on with patients, while still in in high school, I took on a receptionist job for a local hospital, and little jobs as needed around the hospital, Being surrounded on a daily basis by this kind of environment is what made me want to become a caregiver. Been a caregiver, I find satisfaction in supporting other people. I have learned so much about compassion, the meaning of selfless giving and witnessed the amazing miracles that come from our body's will to survive, that's incredible!! My personal accomplishment /achievement is providing care for another person is uncharted territory. Most people are unprepared for this role. There are no courses on how to be a good caregiver. There is no textbook on what to expect. Somehow, u figured it out.

I am a compassionate loving woman who loves caring for others. I've recently ended my military career after serving for 7 years now I am ready to serve others. I moved from Georgia to Houston to pursue my nursing career. I currently have my Nursing Assistant certification as well as my BLS certificate. My long term goal is to become a Registered Nurse at a hospital. While I am in nursing school, I would love the opportunity to work with families as a caregiver. I am interested in nights and weekends at the moment since I have school during the day. If you have any more questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me.
