It takes a strong-willed, compassionate and caring person for this type of career, and I am definitely that person. It is also extremely important to have the ability to pay attention to small details. Have patience and a calm demeanor comes along way when dealing with the sick and the elderly. Also, compassion and empathy can't be taught as a nursing assistant. To have the ability to show compassion and put yourself in someone else's shoes and understand how they're feeling is a much-needed trait to have. I know I have all of these traits. I was raised by my grandparents and was taught to always have respect for others especially my elders. I have a great respect for the elderly and believe they are not always treated the way they deserve and I won't to change that. I love sitting and chatting with them and hearing all the stories they have to tell me, maybe even learning a thing or two from them. Sometimes all they want is just someone there to listen and spend time.
