Hello my name is Paul Dupuis. I am 34 years old and have been a STNA since 2009 full time with the exception of also working as a Office Manager and Surgical Coordinator for and Endocrine surgeon for 5 years while in Colorado so that was a great opportunity to learn more about Post Op care. I believe I am a great STNA because I feel the need to take care of and nurture others in almost any kind of situation. I am very tidy and full of energy. My motto since a coworker said it to me 8 years ago is " If you don't use it you loose it!". It might become annoying to a Resident who doesn't want to hear it that day but I am great at helping get a Resident to that point and past it. Even if it's just to hold their own toothbrush, it might seem small to some but could be a huge stride in their life. I love my "job" and I live building relationships with my residents. I am very versatile as I've been a STNA since 2009 full time in Long term care, Physical Therapy Assistant, Rehabilitation units, Behavioral Units ( my current position) and more on.
