New Patient Story

I have been a caregiver at Sacred Heart since 2019, as a Nursing Assistant, and last June I graduated with an associates in Surgical technology and ended up choosing to start out in Neuro, after six months of pure agony and being told time and time again to pick a different cluster, I found it in my self to switch to General, I than worked in general for 2 months, and had a conversation with the door shut saying I needed to improve with in the next two weeks or we are going to have a more serious conversation, I than made the ultimate decision to go back to being a nursing assistant. After this 9 month experience I could safely say, I went by my heart and went back to what I loved doing, When I was a surgical technologist I would constantly bring work home and be aggressive and would constant disassociate from the constant mistake, and having reoccurring non stop thoughts while having conversations, while trying to spend time with my love, and I wasn't eating, my anxiety was excruciatingly high all of the time, and I am so glad I put my pride aside and go back where I can grow and prosper as an individual, my philosophy in the care field is, "it takes a compassionate heart to take care of the patient each and every day, it is not about the money and if it is than you are in the wrong field". I constantly got asked during my transition if I wanted to go to a different place and work in a smaller clinic, and after what I experienced over the last 9 months and the lack of the holistic care of the patient, I feel like being a nursing assistant is my ultimate calling that God has instilled in me to carry out providence mission "as an expression of GOD'S healing love, witnessed through the ministry of JESUS CHRIST, we are steadfast in serving all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable"
