My work as a CNA, I help treat the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of persons, at the most vulnerable time of their lives. On a shift, I usually have between 10 to 20 patients. I see my work as fulfilling and noble; To be allowed into a person's life and family, when they are at their rawest and most sensitive. A privilege that I do not take lightly. As a CNA, I've cared for all ages and ethnic backgrounds, at every level, varying from rehabilitation to the end stages of Alzheimer's disease. I have learned first-hand how difficult it is to be the "family member" and today I am guided by compassion and empathy whenever I walk onto a unit. I care for each and every person as a member of my family, I respect the family equally, and I never forget to let them know how important they are . I kiss foreheads, I hold hands, I provide comfort and the best of care. I work doubles I pick up days when I'm off. I am dependable and trustworthy, am I Kristi, your CNA.
