I handled medication administration, ensuring proper dosages and timely delivery. I collaborated with nurses to monitor adverse effects and communicate any issues. My attention to detail has increased, along with my understanding of pharmacology expanding my skills and involvement in patient care.

As a CNA, I provided compassionate care to patients in long-term care. I assisted with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and feeding, while closely monitoring vital signs. Working alongside nurses and LPNs, I developed effective communication skills and a deep understanding of patient care. My hands-on experience taught me the importance of patient-centered care, safety and comfort. This role has inspired my passion for nursing, and I an thrilled to advance my skills as a registered nurse to provide even more impactful care.
