I became a licensed CNA in 1992 intending to further my education to RN while working as a CNA. Once I began working in geriatrics I absolutely loved it and decided to remain a CNA so my job would always be very hands on. I have worked in both nursing home and home health settings and while I enjoyed the teamwork and high energy required in the nursing home I also very much enjoy the relationship that grows between the caregiver and the client in a one on one setting. I truly feel that the better you know the patient the better you are able to provide the care and companionship they need. I also understand the want of individuals to remain in their own homes during their golden years and believe that with the support of family members and when matched with the right caregiver this is possible even through their hospice care.
