When starting out as a CNA I was hired by Willow creek nursing and rehab. There I gained the field experience and skills necessary to become the CNA I am today. During the beginning of the Covid 19 outbreak I volunteered to work with infected patients on the new Covid 19 unit. When the vaccine was introduced I was among the first healthcare workers to volunteer to receive the vaccine. I worked for Willow Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation over 2.5 years. I am considered to be a very hard worker, with compassion, empathy and dedication for all patients. Compliments from supervisors are frequently given regarding my work ethic. When assisting patients I go above and beyond to give them the care they deserve and in a timely manner. When I observe concerning issues and changes to a patient I report it immediately to my supervisor. I help with ADLs, bathing, feeding, clothing, mouth care, perineal care, ambulation/ transfers, taking vitals, catheter care, ostomy care, and charting. I always took time to talk, listen and find out how the patients were feeling.
