About Celeste

Have been in the Medical Field 30yrs, started from the ground up. First worked @ "JFK Hospital", when CNAs were "grandfathered in" as you were in Nursing Program & passed "Fundamentals of Nursing". After a particular point of the program, "Med-Surg Nursing" the Hospital considered you, a " Nurse Tech" , upon completion of the PBJC Nursing Program, I sat for RN-NCLEX. Didn't pass the 1st time. I was given a suggestion to sit for LPN Boards & passed them. Due to changes in health care structure, & financial issues, JFK wouldn't hire me as an LPN. It was bought out,and kept only certain amt of CNA's by Seniority, letting me go in the process. I had to wait till the area Nursing Homes would hire as LPN jobs were scarce & they were looking for RNs. I sat again for RN NCLEX, & passed and then applied @ a Rehab/LTC have been in either there, an ALF, 3 Nursing Agencies, several other Rehab/LTC & done Private Duty Care for 4 Elderly Parents & a Private Client for the past 10yrs as well. I am also a Certified Florida Notary Public some of duties have helped Patients with Wills, End of Life decision Making etc. My biggest thing about being a great Caregiver is treat the Client like they ARE your Family member,which earns their trust, & makes them MORE comfortable with you giving care to them. This way I can treat my Client as a "Whole Person" not just their Illness.This Includes: their Spirtual, Emotional, Psychological, besides the Physical Needs.

Since I recently became an empty nester, I am excited to return to my beloved career in nursing. My peers describe me as flexible, empathetic, intelligent, quick learner, diplomatic, forward thinking, intuitive, sociable, good listener, dependable and honest. I have completed the state approved RN refresher course, and I am certain I will be an asset to helping in your home.

I am passionate and I am dedicated to and helping anybody in need especially elderly people. I enjoy to provide them with special love and support that they might need especially when they are away from their family. I have the determination and motivation to dedicate myself and services to ensuring my clients receive the best and proper health care service they deserve. A personal achievement of mine that I am proud of is, out of the 33 years as a licensed professional care giver I have not once received a complaint from a client or employees.
