Summary
Compassionate and detail-oriented Certified Nursing Assistant with three years of patient care experience. Having recently graduated from the University of West Georgia, I plan to pursue an accelerated nursing degree. Skilled in assisting with daily living activities, monitoring vital signs, and providing emotional support. Currently working on a cardiac unit, I have hands-on experience performing and monitoring EKGs, and managing Intellivue heart monitoring systems in hospital settings. Passionate about pediatric care, I bring strong communication, patience, and adaptability to support children and their families. Certified in CPR and BLS, I seek a pediatric patient care position to provide high-quality, child-centered care while utilizing my cardiac monitoring skills to enhance patient safety.
