      As a Certified Nurse Assistant on a Progressive Care Unit, I provide compassionate support to patients requiring intermediate-level care. This experience has proven invaluable in preparing me for my future as a nurse. In this role, I am responsible for assisting patients with a wide range of daily activities, including bathing, dressing, feeding, and toileting. I closely monitor patients and report any changes in behavior, appetite, skin condition, mood, etc. I document vital signs, intake and output, appetite and food intake, activities and care, and the patient's response to activities and care.I provide care, emotional support, and companionship to patients with the goal of improving their experience while being hospitalized. By recording patient behaviors and responses, I contribute to the comprehensive assessment of patients' needs and the development of individualized care plans.In addition to my direct responsibilities, I have the opportunity to observe and learn from some very bright and skilled nurses. Their expertise and dedication have inspired me to strive for excellence and pursue additional education and professional development opportunities. I will draw on these experiences and skills as I transition into my nursing role, confident in my ability to make a difference in the lives of others. Show less
