I took care of a patient named Rose, she was a nice old lady in the early 90's and was admitted to the rehabilitation floor of the establishment due to a hip fracture. Rose was a happy and pleasant person to be around. A few weeks later, Rose began to decline after contracting a salivary gland infection. After refusing to eat or drink all day, I mixed vanilla ice cream and milk remembering that milkshake was his favorite. To her family's surprise, Rose finished it and jokingly asked for more. I remember her youngest daughter thanking me with tears in her eyes, knowing that her mother didn't have much time left. As a CNA, I am fortunate to be the person who provides comfort and care to patients during the final days of their lives and simply offers them the joys of life, like milkshakes. As a PA, I will continue to provide patients with the best care possible, but on a different level. There are surely many rewards in life, but for me, none are greater than being part of a healthcare team. It's through healing and helping patients that I find the peace I once had growing up skating with my big brother.,
