I am a Certified Nurse Aide 1 and college student aspiring to be a nurse someday. I am still taking pre-requisite courses for nursing but very close to being able to apply to a program now. My experience as a CNA is still limited but I’ve learned a lot when I was at WakeMed previously and can’t wait to find another hospital position, hopefully with WakeMed. I feel that I’ve built a lot more confidence in my role, found a real flow that works for me, and understand all of my tasks at this point and just want to continue to put my newfound knowledge to use. I am passionate about helping people and genuinely love what I do.
