Published

Growing up with a sick mother was not easy ,always in out the hospital sick day and night . She had diabetes all her life and struggled with it every day. I would help her with her dressing for her ulcer caused by high blood sugar . I would go to the pharmacy and pick up her insulin . I never understood why all this was happening to her ,until one day I met with her Doctors, nurse's and dietitian.

The dietitian always told my mother to avoid surgery drink, such as orange juice and soda pop. My mother never listen to the rules of her diet but I did. As young child remember cooking healthy meals for her , and accompanied with her appointments. I enjoyed doing this for her, it never bothered me at all. On a way I never knew how serious her illness.

Watching my mother decline loosing both her legs was difficult . January 31,2012 I lost my mother to diabetes . When the doctor amputated both her legs ,she never held. She became septic and develop gangrene . The medication stop working leading to her to have sepsis. Even though it was sad to loose her I felt a pit relive that she was at peace. I very much respected the nurses and doctors as well the dietitian , they did as much as the could. If was not for them I would of never knew anything or have any understanding .

The first job I ever worked was at a health care agency taking care of the sick and disabled . I loved my job. I was trained as a Personal Care Aide and a HCSS worker which is Home care support services . I felt I already had experienced because for many years I did similar tasks . After years of working as a Personal Care Aide I wanted to further my education. Now I work at a Nursing home as a Certified Nursing Assistant and love what I do. I could never see myself doing another kind of work then health care.

Everyday I work beside Nurses ,Doctors physical Therapist . I Admire the work they do. Its not easy being a nurse , it's not just meant for anybody . More so compassionate, caring ,devoted individuals. This why I would love to become a license practical nurses . One day I would liked to further my education and become a Registered nurse . Working as a LPN would give me the experience I need just like working as a certified nursing assistant prepares for working as a lpn, because I take care of the patients everyday .

After reading that, I feel like I know a lot about your mom, but barely anything about you. It should probably be refocused.
