Summary
I was Certified Nursing Assistant offering 7 years of experience in healthcare environments. I loved what I did, but because of a health issue at the time, I had to stop, and I would love to be back in healthcare again. I promoteed superior time-management skills, compassionate bedside manner and have astute observational abilities. I am knowledgeable about patient care, and using the computer system to input patient data.
