I have been a nurse in long-term care for nearly 32 years, and started working in healthcare as a CNA when I was 15. I started caregiving at the age of 10, helping my grandma Flossie get dressed. It is never dull, always challenging and the rewards are innumerable! I love the challenge of helping the residents and over the years I would say they have taught me so much more than I could ever learn in a textbook. I am so thankful I was given this website to use as a resource to be an even better care plan writer—not just for nursing but activities and dietary needs as well. Thank you!!
