*** ******* ****, ************, ** 28314 • Cell: 660-***-**** • ************@*****.*** Skilled Nursing Assistant with good knowledge and understanding of development factors specific to adult and geriatric residents. In working in a doctors office for over a year, I have obtained the knowledge necessary for a great number of specific jobs that I would be expected to do. I have learned a great deal about phlebotomy, drawing a patients blood and giving them comfort as I do. Also, I have excellent computer skills and have handled not only patients charts via technology, but can dictate a doctor's work. I pay attention to detail in all areas of my work, and while I have made a mistake before, my willingness to correct it myself shows that I am a perfectionist. While attention to detail and computer skills are highly necessary, I find that my attention to various patients is one of the best skills a nursing assistant can have. I am a compassionate caregiver first and foremost. Dependable
