Summary
I will always put my patient at the center of every nursing decision I make. As a certified nursing assistant, I conduct myself in a professional manner, and I am someone who has a genuine interest in working with people and helping them to cope with illness and distress. During my career I have made a profound difference in the lives of people who truly needed and appreciated. As a true professional I understand the smallest mistake, can have major ramification and therefore use extreme caution in everything I do. I excel at communicating with doctors, patients and coworkers, and a fast pace, healthcare environment.
