Some personality traits that help me be a great caregiver is I have a really big heart. I genuinely care and concern about my patients and even their loved ones. When going through CNA school I was taught something that stuck with me and that was to always treat your patients the way you would want your mother to be treated. My mother is a nurse and I took a lot of fuel credit courses in high school that just drive my interest in healthcare. I've just always wanted to make a difference and I've found such a love for being a caregiver. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver would hands down being able to help those whom need it. I just enjoy making life easier for my patients and their families. I begin nursing school in the fall and I am very excited to advance my studies within nursing!
