06.2021 - 09.2021
- Over the Course of Summer 2021 I worked as a CNA in a nursing home setting.
- I assisted the elderly in daily tasks of living (bathing, feeding, walking, getting dressed, personal hygiene etc).
- I used my knowledge of basic vital skills every day.
- This included taking blood pressure, temperature, oxygen level, weight, and respirations.
- This included training on infection control, and caretaking.
- I also learned how to chart patient information on an hourly basis.
- Although it was difficult feeling the effects of the pandemic, it was important to me that I remain compassionate, and give comfort to the elderly who were separated from their families.
