I became an EMT-IV 7 years ago, I enjoy the medical field and the sense of accomplishment it gives me after helping someone. I resigned from EMS because of the 48 and some 72 hour straight shifts. It was interfering with my family time. My father in law was in a horrible ma 8 years ago and it left him immobile, he was a diabetic, had a feeding tube and colostomy bag. After bringing him home from the MED of 6 months, I chose to help care for him. After his passing, I then decided I wished to use my knowledge and my love for helping others in a different atmosphere just as I did for him.

It's easier than working at a facility. The companionship the one on one time with the individual. Buying my 1st home and becoming a mother. I've been a CNA for over 5+ years I'm goal oriented, a team player, Punctual,

I was always a caring person, but never really know there was a job as a caregiver till recently. I always worked in production and every plant I worked for closed I took it as a calling for me to go into something else so I chose CNA and it felt right for me. I like the connection you can have with other people that not family and the joy you can bring them when they don't have anyone else. Giving hope to a client that didn't have any.
