My name is Carrie "Nicole" Gunter. I was a CNA for over 5 years in a skilled nursing facility before I became an LPN in 2020. Working as a CNA, I found a love and compassion for taking care of others in their time of need. I am able to form bonds and relationships with all of my patients I come in contact with. I have experience in long term care and home health care. I have done home health going on 3 years now. I am currently employed with a home health agency, but looking for a new adventure to continue my career in healthcare and helping others in need.
