As an LNA, I possess a blend of essential skills to provide comprehensive care. My compassion and empathy allow me to connect with residents on a personal level, while my strong communication skills facilitate effective interaction with both residents and the healthcare team. I am patient and attentive, ensuring residents feel comfortable and supported. With a keen eye for detail, I accurately monitor vital signs and adhere to care plans. My physical stamina enables me to handle the physical demands of the job, and I thrive in a team environment, collaborating with colleagues to deliver optimal care. I manage my time efficiently, prioritize tasks, and address problems promptly. Moreover, I am well-versed in infection control practices and possess a solid understanding of basic medical knowledge, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all residents.

An example to show my skills-

* Situation: The nursing home where I worked had several residents who were struggling with mobility and were at high risk for falls.

* Task: I was responsible for assisting these residents with their daily activities and ensuring their safety.

* Action: I developed a personalized plan for each resident based on their individual needs and abilities. I also worked closely with the physical therapist to ensure that the exercises were safe and effective.

* Result: As a result, the residents' mobility improved, and the number of falls decreased. This improved the residents' quality of life and reduced the risk of injury.
