Summary
Compassionate Nursing professional demonstrating exemplary skills in direct patient care and healthcare team support. Communicative and collaborative demeanor cultivated over 10 years of superior healthcare industry performance. Experience handling multiple, complex cases with accuracy and dignity.
I also want to explain the gaps in my work history. My grandfather was diagnosed with dementia and I took the time off work to care for him in our home. My father was then diagnosed with Dementia and I took the time off work to help care for him. I was still performing all of my Certified Nursing Assistant Skills but it was personal and in a home environment.
