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 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.

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.

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 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.

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'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.

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 believe that everyone deserves the proper care. I love to help people, and I believe God created me to serve him by helping other people. I love meeting new people and grew up in a diverse city and find I am relatable to almost everybody.

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.
