About Zakia

1. Usually people wait till high school to find their dream career, but i have always been interested since my mom been in healthcare. I stared as a Home health aide at 17yrs old i was so good at it. I love to being a caregiver its like a calling. I just want to see how far i can push my self in this career choice 2. What i like about being a caregiver is provided remarkable care . To have a patient tell me "you did a excellent job today Kia". As a caregiver i also teach my patient and well as emphasize with them. The experience i learn is awesome i learn a new skill or technique every job i get. 3. A personal achievement of mines was getting hired into a hospital with only 6 months worth of CNA experience. In North Carolina you usually have to have a year or more. 4. My smile is highly contagious. I have this personality that people don't want me to leave. very outgoing loving individual I'm a very goal-oriented person so im currently in the process of getting my nursing degree. Been a CNA for 2 years
