About Meagan

I take pride in what I do. Working with people from all walks of life is something i enjoy. I take great care of not only my family but others as well. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was 15 and I have made that dream come true. I still have a ways to go but I want to get experience anywhere I can and in all forms. I enjoy listening to stories of the past and assisting with making new memories. I understand families cannot always stay with their loved ones 24/7 so I would like to lend a hand or two. I am very patient with people and do not rush them; I try to let them continue to do what they can and not feel helpless.

Experience & Education

Licensed Vocational Nurse

Mar 2015 - Sep 2017
Midlothian Health Care Center
As a nurse, I would complete rounds on my residents every 2 hours and document their condition. I would monitor and report any changes to the physician on call. I would monitor and report abnormal labs. Medications were given and resident monitored for any side effects. Vitals taken daily and recorded. I loved working with these residents and their families.
Mar 2015 - Sep 2017

Licensed Vocational Nurse

Oct 2013 - Mar 2015
WACO Center For Youth
At this facility we had adolescents who had behavioral problems and difficulties with normal behavior. Here I would administer medications as prescribed by the physicians and monitor for any negative side effects. I would assist the residents with any first aide problems. Worked closely with the RNs to help form a plan for care. I would assist in behavioral emergencies where STAT medication would be given. I enjoyed working here, especially as a new nurse. I learned a lot about taking it slow with people and adolescents who have behavioral episodes.

Kind and caring with good listening skills. Self motivated, take instruction well, and not afraid to ask questions. I have good communication and observation skills. Will make sure the client is comfortable and will ask permission to help with tasks. I want to help your loved one while maintaining their dignity. Helping people has always been my calling. Making someone smile is very rewarding and knowing that I made a difference in someone's day.

1. what helps me be a great caregiver is that i listen to my patients, I help them when they need help and comfort them. I'm a great listener and I love to talk. 2. what attracted me into becoming a caregiver is that i love helping people in need. i used t take care of my mom when she became ill with lupus. i used to bathe her, get her dressed, put her into bed. helping her made me realize i love helping others who need help. 3. what i enjoy most about being a caregiver i that i get to hear my patients stories. its very interesting to see all that they went through. i love seeing my patients smile and if i made them smile with the gratitude i give them then that makes me happy. 4. my personal achievement i am proud of is how well i took care of my mom that led me to where i'm at today.
