@lorealburton
Experienced Certified Nursing Assistant and Optometric Technician with strong clinical and administrative skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive hands-on experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Optometric Technician, currently advancing my training as a Medical Assistant student. I combine clinical care, medical billing knowledge, and administrative operations to support patient-centered care.
As a CNA I have worked across Med-Surg, M&B, PCU and ICU units, assisting with admissions, discharges, transfers, and basic monitoring while maintaining infection control and patient dignity. I am trained on EKG machines, glucometers, oxygen setups, and other routine clinical equipment.
In eye care settings I have performed pre-examination testing (visual acuity, tonometry, visual fields, autorefraction), administered drops, documented findings in patient records/EMRs, and assisted patients with frame selection and fittings. I also have experience collecting payments, verifying insurance, and managing scheduling and patient flow.
Entrepreneurial and service-focused, I own three businesses and have led teams in hospitality as a general manager, honing leadership, time management, and customer-service skills that translate into reliable, detail-oriented healthcare support.
