Annette Walsh

CNA/CNA2/HHA
Forest Grove,OR

Summary

Hard working, efficient and reliable CNA/CNA2/HHA with 27 years of experience in a large variety of areas and as a travel CNA. Such as acute care/hospital, home health care agency and long term care facilities.

I have assisted the nurses with technical nursing treatments, supported diagnostic procedures, charted resident records and patient EPIC. Interested in a full-time role as a CNA/CNA2/HHA/Hospice Aide in a top-notch nursing practice.

Motivated CNA with a highly effective communication style. Efficient worker who demonstrates strong time management and prioritization skills.

Level-headed health professional who remains calm and effective in extremely difficult and stressful situations. Strong belief in the importance of companionship and support in patient care.

To whom it may concern, I am looking forward to the new opportunity.

Thank you!

Warm Regards.

Annette Walsh
