Summary
I have many years of experience as a certified nurses aide in a long-term care facility setting, home health/hospice setting, and also with patient's with developmental disabilities in an adult day center. During my time as a CNA, I obtained me Medication Aide license and my restorative aide certificate. After many years of caring for clients with activities of daily living, administering the correct medications to clients, and forming professional relationships with my clients and their families, I decided to further my education. I was accepted into the Practical Nursing program at Central Tech in Drumright, OK. Since obtaining my LPN, I have been working as a Home Health/Hospice nurse. In my short time as a nurse I have worked with patient's, other nurses, and other medical teams to ensure that my patient's had the best care that I could provide. I am reliable, compassionate, hard working, and always willing to learn.
