Gertrude’s Bio

I am a motivated Certified Nursing Assistant with ten years hands-on training and experience working in assisted living facilities with disabled and geriatric patients. I feel confident that my background, strong bedside manner and skill in providing high quality care makes me an ideal match for your open CNA at CMC Hospital .

I have worked extensively with special needs adults, providing and documenting all personal care and rehabilitation services such as feeding, bathing, and assisting with mobility. My focus on safety and nurturing nature allows me to help boost resident morale and help them maintain dignity in times of distress. I have worked with disabled adults for more than ten years at Aldersgate Retirement Home and two years with Quest Provider Services, and strongly feel that my background would serve me well in working with residents in need of rehabilitative care.

My dedication to delivering top-notch nursing care to every individual I serve is evidenced by the following professional accomplishments:
• Process Improvement: Streamlined treatment documentation by suggesting and implementing improvements to the routine forms used to track patient progress and treatments.
• Collaboration: Partnered with other nursing assistants and registered nurses to effectively track status, progress and overall well-being of patients.
In addition to holding a current CNA certification in NC, I also hold current CPR certifications. I've continued to pursue additional training opportunities through Ghandi Health services  in order to stay current with best practices in the field. I am on track to secure my certification in Phlebotomy as well. I will be done with class [02/2015]

In summary, I feel that I am a strong candidate for the job because I have the knowledge and experience that you are looking for. I would welcome the chance to speak with you more about my background and about this position at CMC Hospital. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
