I am a Certified Nurse Assistant in the state of Georgia with over 13 years experience caring for the elderly. I am very caring, honest and reliable. Caring for my mother who suffered with diabetes for over the years before her death motivated me to make it my career to care for the elderly and it give me great satisfaction to know my mother is watching over me proudly. I love being a caregiver I feel real fulfillment I see the look of content, relief and comfort in my patient after a full day of service. One personal achievement was an incident whereby my resident who suffering from diabetes, foot was swollen and no one want to believe the pain he was enduring. I insisted my supervisor let him see his doctor and made it my priority to take him myself. I met with the doctor who complemented me for informing him of a sore on my patient ankle which he was not aware of, all the times my patient visited him no one never showed it to him and he always wore socks, and that explained why he cried out for pain. The doctor then ordered a wound care nurse to follow up, I also recommended he wore padded foot wear instead of regular shoes which the doctor ordered along with instructions for the other caregivers including myself to keep his foot elevated at all times. The patient got a relief and his ankle healed eventually with the help of the wound care nurse which gave me real satisfaction.
