I successfully completed the Certified Nursing Assistant program at the Technology Center of DuPage from August 2023 to February 2024, earning a GPA of 3.6. Throughout this program, I developed and demonstrated essential CNA skills, including assisting patients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, and toileting; measuring and recording vital signs; safely positioning, transferring, and ambulating patients with the use of gait belts, wheelchairs, and mechanical lifts; and performing range-of-motion exercises. I gained experience in infection control practices, specimen collection, skin care and pressure ulcer prevention, nutrition and hydration support, and catheter and elimination care. In addition, I learned to maintain accurate documentation, communicate effectively with patients, families, and healthcare teams, uphold patient rights and confidentiality, recognize and report changes in patient conditions, and provide compassionate emotional support, including end-of-life care.
