About Sarah

At work my patients called me "Sunshine". I always have a smile on my face. I enjoy helping people. It's what I've always done. I am the oldest of five sisters and we grew up in an unstable home. I grew up quickly and started taking care of my sisters when I was 9. I'm still helping them. Anyone who knows me, knows that they can depend on me and that I'm trustworthy. I am always helping someone by taking them shopping, taking them to doctors appointments, taking them to pick up prescriptions, or just sitting and visiting because they are lonely. I love to help people accomplish things that they need to get done but can't because they can't drive (due to seizures etc...) or because they need advice or companionship.

Experience & Education

Secretary and nurses aide

Aug 2004 - Present
Sacred Heart Hospital
I was hired in at Sacred heart as a Graduate nurse with my associates degree (Registered Nurse). After I failed my nursing boards I was demoted to a Tech (nurses assistant). I enjoyed my job. For 8 of the 10 years I worked there I worked on a cancer floor. It was difficult learning how to give my patients what they needed and wanted. Soon I realized that although taking their vital signs and blood sugars was important. What was truly important for them was to have someone to listen, to help them eat, to help them go to the bathroom, get bathed, or just take a stroll down the hallway. I love helping people. It's what I do.
