Certified Nursing Assistant
M Health Fairview Southdale
07.2021 - 08.2022
At Southdale hospital I worked as a nursing assistant on an orthopedic floor.
My responsibilities included ADLs, attending to patients post-op, 1-1 sits, assisting the nurse in performing various procedures, and floating to other hospital units.
This position was my first introduction into health care and it certainly solidified my passion for taking care of others.
I entered this role at a time where our hospital units were still completely overrun with Covid patients. While this was a stressful time, I am grateful for the opportunity this allowed me to work with patients with a variety of medical complexities.
This job certainly helped me master patience, adaptability, and how to remain calm in the midst of chaos.
