Highland Community College

Hello, I'm Courtney!! I have significant knowledge in the proper implementation of treatment plans and hospital procedures. I learned these throughout my clinical experience in Nuclear Medicine. I spent 3/4 days out of the week in the hospital, and I sincerely enjoyed it. I strive to be around my patients. I am a patient-focused individual, skilled in guiding individuals through potentially stressful situations/tests, I turned to Carelinx, knowing I can potentially help someone, through caregiving. I did this once before and that is where I originally discovered I wanted to work in the hospital (go to school for Nuclear Medicine), and help people. My exceptional communication and interpersonal skills enable me with the ability to quickly establish positive rapport with patients. I have a proven track record of success throughout my career due to my meticulous attention to detail and strong work ethic. I pride myself in always exceeding objectives to ensure the comprehensive comfort and education of the patient. I am now positioned to bring my combination of self-motivation, strong work ethic, and education to a challenging new position within the caregiving community. In addition to my professional attributes, I can offer you the following personal qualifications: * A patient-centered philosophy rooted in the nursing process with attention to assessment, planning and implementation of the highest quality patient care and safety. * A positive, compassionate, eager to learn individual, effective at communicating with my patients, and accepting feedback/direction. * Exceptional motivation and the capacity to work productively. Realizing that this summary cannot fully communicate the benefits I can provide your loved ones, I would appreciate the opportunity to visit with you, personally. Thank you

I have always adored elders, especially listening to the back in the day stories. Having the opportunity to help make a positive impact in ones life is what I thrive for. Being able to support and offer great care, creating comfort and happiness is why I love what I do. Ensuring all the elders needs and wants are met is my number one goal.

I believe that I am a good care giver because I am so easy to get along with and I just everyone. I decided to go in the direction of health care because I feel that it is almost second nature to me to help out where and when I can with being a mother of 4 kids. This asks what attracted me to the healthcare provision and to be honest in the very beginning it actually just kinda fell right in my lap. My husband because disabled and I was a stay at home mom with no schooling or work underneath me and it was time I had to help support my family. It was just the right timing that Kne-cap was running a program where they was helping people go through school to get them somewhere. I decided that was my opportunity and to grab it while it was available. I am proud of myself because I got both my CNA and HHA with the help and got a job and stuck with the first one and just loved my client. From there I decided to take it even farther and get my associates degree in Business Health while working full-time and being a mom of 4 small kids. I have no work history for this under my belt at this giving time.

I've worked at lots of nursing homes throughout the last 3 years and I've learned a lot. I love this field of work and helping people in general. I am 19 years old and suffer from lupus so I have a great understanding of what's it's like to live with most of the symptoms your loved ones have.

I feel as if I am a great comforter, I have good communication skills, I have had a year of experience as a caregiver and all the resident's I have taken care of along the way have made me more experienced and confident about what I do for them, When I was about 13, I had an elderly neighbor/friend that would come over every day for coffee and to talk with the family, well, he started getting older and weaker and I just always wished I could help him but never knew how until I get a wonderful opportunity in High school for CNA class and I loved it so much that I have never thought about having a different job since. What makes it really worth it is knowing that these people I am taking care of, have families whom I am making very happy along with the residents, I love their personalities and different routines, and becoming friends at the end of the day, and last but not least,I am proud of how many "Thank You's" I hear throughout the day because I honestly do my best to make everyone happy, I am happy that I have become skilled in so many ways of being a CNA.
