Galen College of Nursing

I became a caregiver because I love to help others in need. I've been doing it for the past two years and its an amazing feeling to know you have made a difference in someone elses life every single day.

Caregiving is a special job to me because it connects you to people on a level that no one but the two of you will understand. I have worked with many families through a home health company I used to work for and many of my clients became a second family. I present a professional and intelligent manner in regards to healthcare, but I also know the importance of remembering that who you are taking care of is a human being who gets angry and frustrated and embarrassed. I am patient and kind and this field is my passion. The connections that I have made with previous clients is what I'm most proud of in my three year career in senior care. I have just been accepted to Galen College of Nursing where I hope to gain an associates degree with credentials in neonatal care. I'd like to go back to get my masters to work as a neonatal nurse practitioner.

I have been a nurse since 2012, I have multiple specialty areas

I became a caregiver because I like to make sure people have the best care. It hurts me to find out a patient wasn't treated with dignity and respect. I like being able to make a difference in someones life. Currently I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for 3 years working inside the home and in facilities. I attend Galen College of Nursing, and I also have my current CPR.

I feel that I am a great caregiver because I provide the optimal set of characteristics that encompas a great caregiver. I am compassionate, helpful, trustworthy, responsible, and kind, just to name a few of my qualities that make me a wonderful caregiver. I choose to become a caregiver because I truly care for people and helping people is my passion. I am currently in nursing school which is my dream career and being a caregiver provides me with a stepping stone to my desired career. A few things I like and enjoy about being a caregiver is having the oporitunity to make a difference in a persons life, and having the power to be the person that can make a huge difference in someone's day by just being there and helping out. It is a wonderful feeling at the end of the day knowing that you've helped someone when they needed it the most. Something I am very proud of is my accomplishments that I've made in nursing school. I am 21 years old and I have I one year old son. I currently work in a nursing home and at a childcare facility. I am also enrolled in nursing school at Galen college of Nursing and I have a 3.5 GPA. I love people and helping others, and I can not wait to be able to provide my services to a family or person in need of a caregiver.

I have always had the passion to help every since I was young. I am very attentive, caring and easy to open up to. I enjoy doing companionship and being able to provide hands on care. I am currently in nursing school and hopes of one day owning my own care company

I love caring for people. I will go out of my way to help anybody that needs my help. The main reason why I wanted to be a nurse is when my grandfather passed away and I felt like I could have done something to prevent it.

Hello! My name is Britton Black and I decided to become a caregiver a long time ago due to something I experienced in my very own family. On October 2010 I moved in with my Uncle and my sick Aunt. She had just been diagnosed with ALS at the time I moved in. I felt so beyond blessed to be able to help her and my uncle through the tough time they had ahead. At the same time I was attending LPN school and learned everything that I needed to know to help my uncle take care of my aunt. It was a very eye opening experience. It touched my life and I would never trade that experience I had with my family and especially with my aunt. I knew that after my aunt passed away that care giving was meant for me and I was definitely in the right field. I am currently a LPN waiting to take my boards so I can bridge to my RN. I think care giving is definitely my calling.

I got into CNA work after I helped care for my grandfather I've been a CNA for 11 years I have tons of experience and also home health experience. I currently have my CPR license, I've always been fond of geriatrics and want to continue working in the field

The ability to care for someone is the greatest achievement for me. I am a compassionate person who believes in providing excellent care to my patients. I'm also currently a licensed vocational nurse, who is studying to become an RN this year.

I am a mother of 3 my oldest having type 1 diabetes. I grew up taking care of people. My grandfather, whom I lived with growing up was diagnosed with terminal cancer when I was 3. He had passed shortly after my 5th bday. There were nurses in and out and the entire family took short classes to provide daily care for him. I have wanted to become a nurse since then.

I am a caring and compassionate person which makes me a great caregiver. I decided to become a caregiver because I love helping people, and it's a great way for me to gain experience in the nursing field. I enjoy putting smiles on peoples faces, and being able to make someone else life better.

Enjoy caring for people of all ages, especially geriatrics. I feel proud, accomplished and supportive as a caregiver. I am currently in Nursing school but I am proud most of being a nursing assistant for over 5 years now.

I'm not a Caregiver but would like to become one because of the flexibility in hours. I have been a Medical Assistant/Research Coordinator for the last 20 years. My personal achievement has been taking the medical assisting experience to a higher degree with clinical research. I'm going to school at Galen School of Nursing right now for my LPN and I would love to help out the geriatric population in my community, all while furthering my education.

I am currently a nursing student, set to graduate 12/18/2015, I have 1 year clinical experience. I want to be a caregiver and nurse because I truly love helping those who cannot help themselves, it is my calling in life. I am a genuinely caring person and others enjoy my company. I pride myself on being diligent and trustworthy.

I am a great caregiver because I'm a compassionate person that wants to help and be there for other's who don't have family to help or help their family help them. I'm in nursing school and have a passion for helping clients stay in the comfort of their own home.
