I started working at nursing home my junior year of high school. My mom had worked at Roolan Healthcare when I was little. So I kinda grew up in the business. My brothers friends worked there when I was in high school. They needed a dining room aide. I applied and got it. I would set up meal trays and serve. I'd help with feeding. I learned about all the differfiets and textures of drinks and food. Then graduated from high school and took CNA class. Passed on first try. Became CNA and never looked back. Worked at nursing home for 9 years. Then went onto Alzheimer's and demepfir almost 4 years. Afterwards went and worked for the company Bonaventure where I was a caregiver and became a medtech. I administered meds, wrote up MARS, interacted with MDs, pharmacies and other sources. Ordered meds and did vitals.
