Summary
Amazing person who is compassionate, caring, and always there for anyone who needs assistance; has been in the health care field for 12 years. I do have my medical assistant diploma, cna, and GED. As well as my Basic life support (BLS). In the process of getting my CPR next. With more experience and more education, I would love to work my way back up to college again to become a RN. I feel this potion will be fit for myself because of the teamwork and friendly environment. Also there is so much to learn and growing opportunities in the rehab hospital itself. I couldn't be anymore excited to grow with a team who is so happy and friendly and just by seeing that myself I understand it is a good place to work people love there jobs and what they do because everyone is a team player and the positive energy all around. Also knowing the extra classes or education knowledge they offer to help and teach us things that we can assist the nurses with I think is absolutely awesome and a wonderful thing that you can not let pass you by.
