About Joann

Hello My name is Joann Santos and I have been a CNA for 6 years. I have worked in a variety of places which include: nursing homes, assisted livings, home care and hospitals. I currently work at Overlake Hospital as a Patient Care Technician. I am a student pursuing a degree in Nursing. I have always had a desire to care for others. To help those who need it the most. I enjoy learning the background of my patients, along with helping them with their daily needs. The utmost reason I enjoy being a caregiver is simply receiving the appreciation from the person I care for. A simple \"thank you,\" goes an extremely long way for me. I live by the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. A personal achievement I am proud of is learning how to be patient. My resume is available upon request.
