Specializing in 1 Hour Visits: Serving Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Nokomis, East Bradenton, Florida

Certified Nursing Assistant

It takes a very special kind of person to work as a CNA.  Qualifications include compassion, caring, thoughtfulness, patience, organization, honesty, strong body, and of course a love of people.  I became a CNA when I was 21 years old.  I had no idea how rewarding this job could be.  I worked in a large hospital, a nursing home and a pediatrician’s office, all within the first year after I became certified, and yes, all at the same time.  Each setting had it’s own benefits.  The hospital was exciting.  Every shift I was sent to a different part of the hospital, so I saw everything from gunshot wounds to breast augmentation.  The nursing home was hard physical work but it was such a blessing to be around the elderly and all of their wisdom.  I have many sweet memories of working there and once in a great while, I drive by the facility with my husband and tell him a few stories.  The pediatrician’s office was great.  Babies and kids are wonderful.  Rarely did I see anything serious.  I encourage anyone with a heart for people to challenge themselves to become a Certified Nursing Assistant.  The field can always use a good one!

Doing what you love…it’s hard for anyone to wake up in the morning and get motivated to go to work. But it’s a whole lot easier when you love what you do. For many years, I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant in Sarasota, Florida. I love what I do. I love working with the patients and their families. I try my hardest to make a difficult time, such as after a surgery, having a baby, an injury, illness or declining health, as easy as possible by offering my experience, compassion, and always a smile.

Do you have a Question, Concern or a Comment? I would love to hear from YOU!

"Thank you for Visiting my Site". Kim

During all of my years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I have been around many other nursing assistants and other health care professionals. While I have been blessed to work with some of the best in the business, I have also seen some things I wish I hadn’t. I believe it takes a special type of person to care for others. Not everyone has what it takes to be a caregiver and that’s OK. It takes a very patient, calm, caring, wise, trustworthy, respectful, human being to work in the health care field. I am glad that I have been called all of those things. I enjoy bringing a smile to a patient’s face and making a difference during a very difficult time.

Have a question, concern or a comment? I would love to hear from you!

To Whom it may Concern:

I am writing this letter to offer my highest recommendation for Kim. She worked as a private duty CNA for my husband recently and consistently delivered exceptional quality care for him. Kim supervised a team of 6. She coordinated scheduling, handled emergencies and worked with Clare Bridge regarding my husband’s care.

She is hard working and went beyond the call of duty.

Kim was also very caring, gentle, compassionate, very conscientious and professional at all times. She was an effective team player demonstrating outstanding potential and would make an excellent addition to your health care system.

Sincerely,
Teresa
