As nurse educators, it is important for us to create an environment which will help students to learn effectively. In order to help learning effectively, the nurse educators must implement a variety of teaching strategies applicable to learner needs (NLN, 2005).

I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) for about two years. My naturally caring and compassionate nature has helped me to excel in this field. I find myself inherently invested in each of my resident’s lives, and I take deep pride in being an advocate for residents that no longer have a voice of their own. Being a CNA has taught me how to work as a part of a team, in partnership with my residents, fellow aides, nurses, family members, and physicians. Interdisciplinary teamwork is an important aspect of the PA role, and I believe my work as a CNA has strengthened my teamwork abilities immensely.

I have worked with many multidisciplinary teams and have seen the difference in care with team led by Nurse Practitioners. I was always looking for the role that will motivate me not only to advance in career professional ladder but also expand my role as a nurse in the promotion of health.

In the time that I have been a CNA I have had the opportunity to develop many different qualities including: adaptability, compassion, emotional stability, patience, and problem-solving skills.

I have very strong beliefs about what is right and what is wrong. I’ve also been known to advocate strongly for patients. If I have a patient who I feel deserves more than they are receiving, I will speak up. I’ve run into this most frequently with pain management issues. In the ED there are problems, but it was poor pain management in the ICU that has had the most potential to compromise the recovery of the patient.
