Summary

I am a CNA aspiring to become a nurse one day. I am passionate about my work in the field and dedicated to helping as many people as possible. I recently obtained my certification and am eager to begin my career. Helping others feels like my true calling, and I am seeking a long-term, secure position. My goal is to gain experience as a CNA, advance to an RN, and eventually pursue my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). I have extensive experience working with the elderly and am excited to expand my skills in a hospital setting. I truly love what I do and plan to continue in this field for the rest of my life.
