I've been in home health for last 15 yrs. I've done state facilities also working with individuals with developmental disabilities. I was a certified medication aid. I worked with g tubes. I've done pediatric home health. I went to Wyoming to take care of my mother before she passed. I took a CNA class while I was there. Was not able to go in front of nursing board because COVID hit and I was let go from my job cause I was working prn . So they wouldn't pay to let me get my certification. I've been out of work for past two years due to getting my personal life situated and being a stay at home mom which I'm not very good at . So I said I needed a job and started applying. I enjoy this line of work because flexible scheduling. And I enjoy taking care of people. I don't like the fact that I get too attached.. they become like family. And when they pass it's hard on me . But to know I made a difference in someone life. That's the reward.
