I am a certified Clinical Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aide with US work experience, as well as a registered member of the Alberta HCA. My interest in this job stems from my passion for patient care and desire to become a registered nurse. I am an excellent fit because of my considerable experience in caring geriatric, dementia, and Alzheimer’s patients, as well as my academic qualifications itemized in my resume. My work experience includes continuing care assistance and clinical nursing assistance in various healthcare settings: post-acute and rehab care, patients’ homes, skilled nursing facilities, and Med-Surgical units of a teaching hospital.
My strengths include my capacity for compassion, patience, empathy, attention to detail, patient advocacy, team player, prioritizing tasks, a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, and working effectively and efficiently with other healthcare professionals to implement patient care plans. I will be a great asset in a mutually beneficial and long-term relationship because my goal is to be a registered nurse.
I am currently living in Regina, Saskatchewan on a multiple entry visiting visa and would love to continue pursuing my healthcare career in Canada, so I am willing to relocate. I look forward to an opportunity to demonstrate my skills and knowledge. Kindly let me know if you need more information.
