About Marlayna

Hi! I genuinely care for my patients as if they were my own family members and often think about how one day that could be my family member and at one point was, my grandmother and grandfather. I'm on the younger side of the spectrum being a CNA, 22 years old, but I believe I have learned so much and seen just about everything when it pertains to health care and patient care. I earned my CNA my senior year of high school, and begin working at a nursing facility for about a year and a half. I wanted to broaden my expertise and knowledge so I got a job at a hospital in the intensive care unit, where I'm at now. I've been a CNA in the ICU for over 3 years and everyday I'm learning something new. Something I enjoy most about being a caregiver is helping patients and making them smile because I know I have the ability to help and one day, I too will need help. For that reason, it makes me proud and happy to help.

Experience & Education

CNA/tech

Sep 2017 - Present
University Health System
CNA on an Intensive care unit assisting with the very sick population. Some job duties include everything in bedside patient care such as cleaning, bathing, turning intubated patients, transporting intubated patients to procedures such as CT, MRI, IR, etc along with the primary nurse and respiratory therapist; prepping intubation supplies for the doctors; ensuring the intubation cart and crash cart is ready; assisting in code blues by CPR and getting supplies; checking patients glucose. In addition to the ICU, I also have experience in floating to the acute setting ACU. These job duties are similar in patient care except these patients are usually alert and orientated and are either independent without much assistance or requiring total nursing care.
