About Michael

I am a great caregiver because I treat my patients, not just their diseases. I like to take a look at the big picture, and ask myself, and others on the care team: Why are we in this persons life today? I always put my patients' needs and desires above all else. I consider myself a \"go getter\" and do not wait for events to come to me, but rather seek out ways I can improve myself, and the lives of others. I was first attracted to being a nurse at a young age (about 11 or so) when I realized that when I went to the hospital or doctor's office, it was always the nice nurse that made me feel better, that spent most of the time with me, making me comfortable. I enjoy taking place in other people's recovery the most. Knowing that \"today, I made someone feel better than they were before\", is really what I enjoy about this profession. A personal achievement I am proud of, honestly is making it this far in nursing school. It is one of the most challenging experiences I have had, and I feel proud to say that I am well on my way to being a professional.

I was a caregiver for 6 months after I separated from the navy. I worked with 3 very kind ladies in a house. One of the things that enjoyed the most was really feeling like I was continually improving the quality of their lives. There so much that needed to be done that the 12-hour shift just flew by. I take the time to learn clients' personalities and reciprocate what I believe they are looking for. I'm very big on clarification and communication. One of my clients had early onset dementia that was very advanced, one little to no speech, and one was completely wheelchair bound. Despite this these ladies were a pleasure to work with and I effortlessly treated them with the utmost respect & empathy. It was a pleasure to work with these ladies and I diffidently appreciated how excited they would get when I walked through the door. Looking to get back into a career path that allows me to be fulfilled as well as isn't continuous high stress.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I have 6 years experience doing In Home Health Care through Catholic Community Services / Independent Living Program. After taking time off from this career path I have returned to this field and have graduated from the Nursing Assistant Training Institute to receive my CNA. Currently with Maxim Health Services in Seattle. I'm very patient and caring by nature and that translates to my care for others. I always remind myself to be aware of what it would be like to the person in need and how I would like to be treated and respected. One of my personal joys and satisfaction is having the human connection with the work I do.
