MELISSA DRANNON
H: 1-580-***-**** **************@*****.***
I have been a CNA in the Emergency Department and Long term care for over 18 years. I started my career in a nursing home where I loved caring for the elderly. I then had the honor of serving our veterans at a long term care facility helping them keep their dignity during their final moments. Since 2015 I have had the privilege to serve my fellow Native Americans at the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center. I currently work as an Emergency Department Unit Clerk where I multi-task many things including helping arrange transfers, answering the phone, completing patient discharges, and ordering supplies. I am CPR certified and First Aid Certified. I love working hard alongside nurses and physicians learning new things.
