Summary
I have exceptional customer service skills that I learned with my prior employment as a cashier and now with vulnerable patients and their concerned family members at my current position as a CNA. As a CNA, I take care of 9-12 patients at a time, performing and charting vital signs and blood sugars, assisting with activities of daily living and helping nurses with anything they need to make our patients lives easier. I am a confident, hard working student and caregiver that wants to better the lives of as many people as I can through furthering my education and achieving my goal as a nurse with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing.
