Certified Nursing Assistant
Current
Iredell Memorial Hosipital
Statesville, North Carolina, United States
I gained experience working with patients while I volunteered my skills at a Skilled Nursing Unit in Statesville, North Carolina. I helped patients bathe and get dressed for the day. I kept up with dietary needs and restrictions as well as made sure they had proper meals each day. I worked alongside a physical therapist to help patients in and out of bed as well as ensure they recieved the physcial activty that meet their needs. It was very important to me throughout my volunteer experience, to make a connection with my patients. I created an open and empathic environment so that my patients did not just see another healthcare worker in the room but someone they could talk to and feel cared for.
