About me
I am a reliable, service-focused nursing professional with excellent patient-centered care skills. I am a problem solver with compassion and behavioral awareness, skilled in attending to patients in diverse healthcare settings. I have experience assisting veterans and elderly patients, particularly those with dementia and cognitive decline. I am adept at utilizing deescalating techniques and providing assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, feeding, grooming, and mobility exercises. I work well in team environments to support the quality of life of residents and patients.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various healthcare settings including long-term care facilities, behavioral health units, and travel CNA roles. I have experience providing physical and emotional support to residents, ensuring their safety and comfort. I am familiar with medical terminology and documentation, and I am committed to advocating for residents and staff alike.
I have completed accredited nursing courses and hold certifications including CNA licenses in multiple states, CPR, and BLS from the American Heart Association. I am trained in the Validation® methodology, which emphasizes empathy and holistic care for individuals experiencing cognitive decline. I am passionate about continuous learning and applying best practices in patient care.
I am dedicated to maintaining a compassionate and professional approach in all my duties. I am comfortable working with diverse patient populations and adapting to different healthcare environments. My goal is to contribute positively to patient well-being and support healthcare teams effectively.
I am fluent in English and have received recognition for my leadership and advocacy in nursing care. I am eager to continue growing my skills and making a meaningful impact in the healthcare field.
