NOTE: To assist the tutor with this assignment I have come up with a person that i personally know of and you can do the assignment based on her.
Her name is Ashley. She is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in the Delaware and works at a State Hospital. She is a single mother of 2 (a boy and a girl). She is satified with being a CNA as a start in the nursing field and to obtain experience but not as a long-term occupation (being that a CNA is entry level and salary is not too great). She is currently in school pursuing her Registered Nurse (RN) degree to climb up the career ladder in the field of nursing.
