Summary
I am a Certified Nursing Assistant with 3+ years of experience working in patient care. I have worked in skilled nursing/geriatric patients as well as patients of many different complexities on the Medical Surgical floor at Saint Lukes North Hospital in Kansas City. I am a licensed CNA through the state of Kansas and Missouri as well as also have my BLS certification. It is my hope to apply to nursing school this coming fall and attend starting August of 2026. During my time in the healthcare field I have also sat for the SLNH Nurse Practice Counsel, The Employee Engagement Committee, as well as the Saint Lukes Tech Committee where I was Chairman until we dissolved our committee due to lack of sponsorship. I have also Promoted to NA 2 which is recognized through Saint Lukes Health System for having more than one year of clinical experience as well as completion of a project which for me was hand hygiene audits for the entire Med/Surge floor staff. I am seeking a job in the healthcare field preferably clinical but open to all positions. It is my goal to graduate and work in the intensive care unit as a nurse.
