I started my cna journey working in a kitchen at a nursing facility and I began to interact with the residents and I noticed most of them weren't getting the correct care and genuine care so I got inspired and took the class to become one myself. The thing I enjoy most about being a cna is feeling like I'm doing my purpose that I feel I'm called to do by being that person that can help and even if it just made a difference for a minute of their day. I am extremely caring and sentimental, I am very patient, I like to ask a lot of questions to insure their comfortability, I'm good at adapting person to person and redirecting those that may be a little confused. The most personal achievement I feel I'm proud of is before I became a cna I was patient but nowhere near enough to handle this type of job but as soon as I started connecting with the residents as a dietary aide my patience just hit like a truck and it changed my perspective on the whole job itself and the importance of the role.
