  • Working here at my current job I have recognition not only from management but from the patients I take care of as well. I've gotten two so far
  • At my current job since I've started working here the department I work in numbers have gone up tremendously just based off patient care alone
  • The regular patients that I see a lot or sometimes new patients I haven't seen before come in with flowers or cards for us because of the work we do
  • Although i'm not a certified nursing assistant I've been blessed to still work in that field and continue to show how I really care and show up for my patients. I was able to do this because I stepped out of my comfort zone even with knowing i wasn't certified to do that specific position.
