Summary
Currently in my last semester of the LPN program and seeking for a position before I graduate in the end of July. I come with over 1 year of experience in the hospital setting as a CNA and I am currently working as a CNA at the day hospital unit at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital. I also have my CNA+4 which has given me the opportunity to do more skills in the hospital setting. This unit has helped me gain so much experience with bed side manner, charting, patient care and has overall helped me in nursing school and in my career as a nurse.
