Catherine Dix Email and Phone Number

Hello There! I'm Catherine, and I appreciate you taking the time to view my LinkedIn Profile. In my past experience as a medication aide/tech and care partner, I have learned how to assist people in completing tasks of daily living, how to be resourceful and calm under pressure, and how to be a true team player who is enthusiastic about making a positive contribution anywhere I work.To explain more about my technical skills, I enrolled in the Dare 2 Care Nursing Assistant I course in July of 2024 and received my CNA I license in August of 2024. I am currently taking the Dare 2 Care CNA 2 class, and am anticipating graduation on 11/23/2024. Additionally, I received my Bachelor's degree in BioHealth Sciences from Oregon State University in June of 2024 where I chose to complete a pre-physician assistant option. There, I took courses relevant to the healthcare field as a whole like medical terminology, immunology, anatomy and physiology with lab, mechanisms of disease, and general pathology. The labs I participated in taught me the scientific method, generating lab reports, and performing in depth analysis on experiments done in group settings. Outside of attending Oregon State University, my training and experience includes and is not limited to working as a medication aide where I was delegated by registered nurses to administer insulin, medications, and treatments. I also learned administrative work in this role, like how to do in-depth resident charting on a shift-by-shift basis, communicating with pharmacies and health care providers, as well as completing documentation and communicating that via fax machine and EMR. During my time as a caregiver, I was trained using Oregon Care Partners and Relias and even took additional courses due to my interests in helping older adults. I hold a current BLS Provider CPR and AED certification, and have a food handler's card. As you can see, I have plenty of relevant experience that would aide me in performing well in CNA 2 roles. In addition to formal employment, I am also looking to expand my horizons by shadowing providers like doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in order to develop my experience in the healthcare field further. I also want to learn of more healthcare related volunteer opportunities if anyone would like to message me about that. If you would like to set up with an interview with me, have a suggestion for a role I would fit into well, or if you would like to reach out to connect, feel free to message me on LinkedIn or email me. I look forward to hearing from you :)
