About Lacreesia

Good day, I believe what makes me a great LVN is I started off on the bottom of nursing spectrum and was caregiver then a CNA then became a LVN. So I know what's it's like to care for clients on all different levels. For example caregiver and CNA you spend more time doing bedside care and you're able to spend more time with the client. I became interested in the medical field when I was hospitalized after having my daughter. The nurses and doctors saved my life and gave me nothing but the best care in my opinion. Some traits the make me a great LVN is I'm patient, effective, organized and I can prioritize my tasks. I enjoy the this field because I get to meet new people all the time and generally my clients are grateful for the care that they receive from their nursing staff. I thank you for taking the time to read my about me. Have a wonderful day!!
