Summary
My first CNA was obtained in 1994 at Liberty hospital. I took the classes and worked there. I have since worked for Crossroads hospice. I began taking care of my grandparents , after their passing I had friends calling and requesting I help take care of their loved ones at home. I have been doing this for patients in the surrounding area for the past few years. My latest patient is going to the veterans home any time now, I am wanting to work close to home and have a stable job to stay with until I retire. I have driven all over the state with hospice and to nearby towns, I am ready for a job close to home, that I can go to and park, and do what I love for my shift, then go home. I enjoy hospital work where there are new and different patients week to week. I am dependable, and I go above all expected if me. I prefer day shift, but am willing to works nights if that's what is available. Thank you.
