I wanted to be a certified nursing assistant because I’ve always enjoyed taking care of others, even as a child when I would watch my younger siblings. These days, I’m looking for a job that is challenging, rewarding and positively impacts others’ lives, and I find all those qualities in caregiving. I’m a people person. I thrive in a job that’s social in nature. As a caregiver, I have the opportunity to work with different types of people all day, every day. At my last job, I had a patient who was difficult and always wanted the RN to help him instead of me. He was often disrespectful and spoke down to me and then after a month, I finally explained to him that I had plenty of training and it would be my pleasure to provide the best care. I let him explain his issues, and after talking we came to an understanding and he allowed me to better care for him.
