Helping Hand
A passion for helping other people led Bernice Resendiz to her role as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Morning Pointe of Collegedale at Greenbriar Cove. According to Resendiz, “God opened a door for me to work here. I actually started as a dining room coordinator in 2016, and now, as a CNA, I’m able to help my residents with their day-to-day activities. I assist them with dressing, getting them to the dining room and to the restroom, and help them participate in the daily programs.” Resendiz hopes to use the experience she’s gaining at Morning Pointe in her future nursing career; outside of working hours, she’s in the process of pursuing her associate degree in nursing at Chattanooga State Community College. “My plan is to get a bachelor’s degree in nursing, work in pediatrics, and be a hospice nurse someday,” she shares.
Whatever my residents need, I'm there to help them."
