Summary
Maxim Healthcare Services/Staffing Company - Sacramento, CA
August 2020 to Present
Within the time I’ve been hired as a CNA with this staffing company I have been able and have fully either accomplished my contract or I am still in a work setting contract with a Nursing Rehabilitation Facility. Furthered my hands on education being that I’ve been hired now with two prominent Facilities that Rehab/ long term living residents. When first employed with Maxim I was placed in a facility where COVID-19 was indeed a 90 % outbreak and I was placed to work on the Covid floor in fact. With Nurse and cna's shortages I’ve learned and was challenged to work amongst 15 plus residents with one Nurse.
